The "Critical Routes" seminars, held since 2006, aim to discuss and present data on research and interventions regarding violence against women. This text presents a narrative synthesis of the International Seminar on Critical Routes 8, entitled "Feminicides: We need to talk about this," held in Porto Alegre in 2017. The interview format was used to present the narratives, theoretical references and specific situations of each region. Feminicides have increased under the neoliberal model that is taking place in the countries of Latin America, and there is an excess mortality among young, migrant, unprotected, poor and racialized women. The publication of these types of syntheses is an opportunity to make public research data that denounce specific situations of risk and vulnerability. The article shares critical reflections and conversations among Brazilian and Spanish-speaking Latin American researchers, seeking to strengthen actions to combat violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with violence against women with HIV in a mid-sized city in the South of Brazil. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 161 users of an HIV Specialized Care Service in a city with high prevalence of Aids in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. To determine the prevalence and forms of violence, 13 questions of the World Health Organization Violence Against Women (WHO VAW) instrument, adapted and validated for Brazilian Portuguese, were used. The presence of lifetime psychological, physical, and sexual violence perpetrated by intimate partners or former partners, family members, acquaintances, friends, neighbors, colleagues, or strangers was investigated. Statistical analysis employed the chi-square test and Poisson multiple regression. Results. Psychological violence was reported by 117 women (72.7%), physical violence by 88 women (54.6%), and sexual violence by 41 women (25.4%). The adjusted prevalence of violence was 11.5 times higher in women living with HIV for more than 5 years as compared to those living with HIV for ≤ 5 years; 9.5 times higher in those with more than three children vs. three or fewer children; and 7.2 times higher in those who had sex before before the age of 15 years vs. at 15 years of age or older (P < 0.01). Conclusions. The frequency of all types of violence was high in this group of women with HIV. Health care professionals should understand and address issues relating to prejudice and provide comprehensive care, asking about the presence of violence in the life of women.
