This study is part of the project entitled "Multidimensional Assessment and Intervention in Mental and Physical Health throughout the Life Cycle in the Ecuadorian Population" and its main objective was to identify the complex relationships between perceived social support, the various types of violence experienced and the sociodemographic characteristics in the context of suicide risk of women victims of violence in Ecuador. The sample consisted of 106 women victims of violence, aged between 12 and 44 years (M = 21.49, SD = 9.01). For data analysis, statistical and correlation statistics, tests of differences for independent samples, as well as cross tables (X², Cramer's V and contingency coefficient) were used. Among the most relevant findings, it was highlighted that sexual violence was the most predominant form of violence in the population studied. Additionally, a significant negative correlation was observed between perceived social support and suicide risk, positioning social support as a protective factor in this context. However, no evidence was found of a significant influence of sociodemographic factors on social support or suicide risk, so the need for additional research to delve deeper into these dynamics is discussed.
