The present study aimed to gather findings in the literature regarding violence against women between intimate partners during the Covid-19 pandemic, considering the characteristics of this context. To this end, a systematic review of the literature was carried out on studies published on the subject based on the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The formulation of the guiding question strategy was elaborated from the mnemonic “population”, “concept”, “context” (PCC), respectively represented by P = women, C = domestic violence between intimate partners, and C = covid-19. The following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) were used: “domestic violence”, covid, women, combined with their respective Portuguese translations: “domestic violence”;, covid, women, also using the logical operators “and” and “or” . The databases were: Lilacs, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Scielo, Scopus and Medline. After searching the respective databases, the tracked files were exported to the Rayyan web platform, in May 2022. After thorough evaluation of the inclusion criteria, 17 studies were analyzed. Studies show that there was an increase in the rate of violence against women between intimate partners during the Covid-19 pandemic, including in pregnant women. Research that reveals few women seek support and normalization of aggressive behavior from their intimate partners. Study data also revealed factors that influence this violence, such as marriage at a young age, low educational level, alcohol abuse, among others.
