Objective:

Understanding the approach to sexual violence against women in undergraduate nursing.

Method:

A qualitative study developed in a Higher Education Institution located in a medium-sized municipality in the state of Ceará. From April to November 2019, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 15 participants. In the organization of information, thematic analysis and theoretical references of gender violence and skills pedagogy were used.

Results:

Three categories were elaborated regarding the meanings attributed to sexual violence; the approach of the theme through the teaching-research-extension triad at the university; and the possibilities and challenges for the inclusion of the theme in professional training.

Conclusions:

Sexual violence presents itself as a social problem of the condition imposed on women in relation to men. This has gained visibility in the social sphere; however, in training there is still a close relationship for its inclusion.
