Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os fatores implicitos e a permanencia destas mulheres na situacao de violencia. Para isto, utilizou-se de uma pesquisa bibliografica, no periodo de 2010 a 2015, na plataforma Scielo. O estudo pautado em uma analise descritivo-exploratoria discute qualitativamente a permanencia das vitimas em sofrimento. Embora a violencia domestica seja motivo de queixa pela mulher moderna, estas quando em situacao de violencia nao encontra forcas ou apoio para sair desta condicao. Desta forma seria relevante o aprofundar as discussoes acerca dos elementos que levam um numero elevado de mulheres a se submeterem a uma relacao familiar violenta. Para tanto a contribuicao da comunidade academica nao pode se revelar omissa. Palavras-chave: Lei Maria da Penha. Violencia Domestica. Mulheres. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: FACTORS IMPLIED IN STAYING IN A VIOLENCE SITUATION ABSTRACT: The concepts of domestic violence are diverse. However there is a consensus on its definition, which relates, in particular, to the type of violence practiced and the family members’ involvement. In Brazil, domestic violence against women was considered as something belonging to the culture, and for a long time there was no intervention in the family. Thus the Maria da Penha Law (The Brazilian Law that intend to protect Women against domestic violence), is pointed by many authors as advanced and innovative, as it addresses relevant actions in monitoring the victim as well as the aggressor. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the implicit factors and the permanence of these women in the situation of violence. For this, it was used a bibliographical research in the period 2010-2015, in Scielo platform ( Scientific Electronic Library Online ). The study ruled in a descriptive and exploratory analysis qualitatively, and discusses the permanence of women in a suffering situation. Although domestic violence is a reason for complaint by the modern woman, when in a violence situation she does not find the strength or support to get out of this condition. In this way it would be relevant to deepen the discussions about the elements that lead a large number of women to submit to a violent family relationship. To this end, the contribution of the academic community can not be overlooked. Key words: Maria da Penha Law. Domestic Violence. Women.
