The aim of this paper is to identify and analyses the existence of an intergenerational cycle of domestic violence against woman, perpetrated by her partner. The article provides new perspectives of policy oriented to mitigate the effects of this type of violence and contributes to the existing literature. Using data from the National Demographic and Health Survey (2010), probabilistic models with robust standard errors was constructed. The results indicate that violent behaviors are transmitted from parents to children, as well as the existence of regional differences on the likelihood to being physically assaulted.
