This article analyzes the implementation of health care to women in situations of sexual violence in two Brazilian capitals (Rio de Janeiro/Fortaleza). The qualitative study analyzed documents about the subject and semi-structured interviews with 37 managers of the municipal health care system. The issue has been addressed in different forms by the municipalities, which arises from the different paths of the consolidation of services, the approaches to the feminist movement and to the specific cultural contexts. It was noted that the implementation of actions in this area still has weaknesses, demanding efforts of political and technique articulations for the structuring and maintenance of services.
