Therefore, the theoretical-logical and logical-operational models were constructed, based on Technical Standards of Brazilian Ministry of Healththat guide the attention to people victims of sexual violence. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, applied face to face with obstetricians directly involved in the care of women assisted in the service, besides the unit manager. Then, the data were analyzed considering the judgment matrix that punctuated the actions taken, in the light of those provided for the Technical Standards according to four dimensions: Humanization of Care; Availability and Sufficiency of Inputs; Information Registration; Collection of Traces; Knowledge of Technical Standards and Service Disclosure. The results show that the attention in the studied service is partially implemented.

The importance of professional medical training, the disclosure of this service to strengthen their visibility and the access to women victims of sexual violence was considered.
