    As causas externas afetam de maneira desigual as populaçÔes humanas. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os atendimentos de emergĂȘncia em mulheres vĂ­timas de acidentes e violĂȘncias. Foram analisados dados do inquĂ©rito de VigilĂąncia de ViolĂȘncias e Acidentes em 74 Unidades de EmergĂȘncia de 23 capitais e no Distrito Federal em 2009. Analisaram-se 6.965 atendimentos de mulheres adultas comparando-se as faixas de 20-39 e 40-59 anos, em relação a ocorrĂȘncia de acidentes e violĂȘncias. Os acidentes foram mais frequentes em mulheres jovens (20 a 39 anos), de cor negra e com escolaridade maior que 9 anos de estudo. A ocorrĂȘncia de violĂȘncia tambĂ©m foi predominante em mulheres jovens e negras, porĂ©m com menor escolaridade. Entre os acidentes predominaram as quedas (38,6%), seguidas de acidentes de transporte. As violĂȘncias foram mais frequentes no domicĂ­lio (p < 0,000) e a referencia ao uso de ĂĄlcool predominou entre as vĂ­timas de violĂȘncia. O tipo de violĂȘncia mais frequente foi a agressĂŁo (84,6%), sendo o agressor do sexo masculino (79,1%) e identificado como parceiro Ă­ntimo em 44,1%. É cada vez mais relevante que os serviços estejam capacitados para a atenção integral e humanizada Ă s vĂ­timas desse importante problema de saĂșde pĂșblica.<br>Accidents from external causes affect the human population in different ways. This article seeks to analyze emergency care for women who are victims of accidents and violence. Data from the Surveillance System for Violence and Accidents were analyzed. This study was carried out in 74 emergency units of 23 state capitals and the Federal District in 2009 and included 6,965 women aged from 20-59 years. The age groups of 20-39 and 40-59 years were compared for the occurrence of accidents and violence. Accidents were more frequent among young black women (20-39 years) with more than nine years of schooling. The occurrence of violence was also prevalent in young black women but with less schooling. Falls were the most frequent accidents (38.6%), followed by traffic accidents. The occurrence of violence was more frequent in the home (p <0.000) and the mention of alcohol abuse among victims of violence was predominant. The most frequent type of violence was aggression (84.6%), in which the aggressor was male (79.1%) and identified as an intimate partner (44.1%). It is increasingly important that services are able to provide comprehensive and humanized care to the victims of this important public health problem
