Violence against women is a phenomenon that affects everyone around the world. In Brazil, in 2006, law 11.340/2006, named after Maria da Penha, was enacted with the purpose to inhibit domestic, family and intimate partner violence. This study's objective was to compare female mortality due to assault/homicide in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil, before and after the law came into effect. For that, an ecological study was conducted with victims of aggression and homicide registered in the Mortality Information System from 2002 to 2010. The women, victims of homicide, were aged between 21 and 25 years of age (28.6%), had a low level of education (39.3%) and no occupation (64.3%). There was a decrease in the incidence of deaths followed by an increase in the last two years, with repercussions of Potential Years of Life Lost among women from 16 to 39 years old. The Maria da Penha Law is a reality in Brazil and plays a relevant role in society, thus, should be analyzed in terms of its effectiveness and influence. DESCRIPTORS: Violence against women. Mortality. Potential years of life lost.
