Objective: characterizing the sociodemographic profile of women estimated as victims of feminicide, from 2009 to 2018, of a municipality in the countryside of São Paulo, and the characteristics of violence suffered and of probable aggressors. Methodology: cross-sectional and quantitative, retrospective and descriptive study. The data was systematized with descriptive statistics. Results: 45 women were estimated to be victims of feminicide. Mostly white; single women; from 20 to 59 years of age; incomplete elementary school; realized domestic activities with or without remuneration. Physical violence was the prevalent type, with sharp objects as the most frequent means of death. The household was where most episodes of violence and feminicide occurred. Conclusion: It is clear in this research the importance of identifying situations of risk for feminicide and of investing in therapeutic projects that focus on difficulties in interpersonal relationships and in controlling aggressive behaviors. Offering support in formal Community, social and legal aid centers is also necessary. The training of health professionals should be done aiming at preventive actions, safety, improvement of outpatient and hospital records of the care given to victims of violence. It is expected that researches that identify women at risk are made and that public policies with a protective purpose that minimize violence against women and their fatal outcomes are implemented.
