To reach the results were used surveys in relation to the proposed objectives, the population consisted of 6293 women and the sample by 90 women, each sample unit was assigned randomly. The data obtained were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The results established that 39% present moderate spousal violence, 33% mild and 28% severe. 34% of the women in the study have a high repercussion on family health, 28% a severe repercussion on family health and 26% a moderate repercussion. The correlation of the variables has shown that there is a significant relationship between the variables conjugal violence and repercussions on health. family degree of severe violence (48% and 32%) is associated with high and severe repercussions on family health. This allows us to accept the hypothesis raised through the chi-square test. An intervention proposal aimed at empowering families has been designed.
