- Abstract
This study aims to reflect about the secrets and crimes involving sexual violence against women. This is a literature review on women's experiences, whereas not publicizing the violent act appears as a constant concern among women. From the theoretical framework proposed by Émile Durkheim and Georg Simmel, it was found that this violence is embedded in a social web, whether existential or order of gender hierarchies. In the conception of crime addressed by Durkheim, one can understand that changing values, opposing the states of collective consciousness, is central to that violence against women can be seen as a "criminal act". From Simmel, the secret, as a sociological category, should not be understood as an omission or inertia, but as a way of maintaining social ties. The interactions of individuals extend the possibilities of the social world.
