Decision-making has been considered an important factor in the empowerment of women and the reduction of violence against them. This article constitutes a systematic review between the years 2010 and 2021 of decision-making in women abused by their partners. Five databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo. Finally, a choice of 21 articles was made that met the selection criteria and among the results, the favorable relationship between decision-making and the reduction of intimate partner violence was found; however, in certain places this may constitute a risk factor as women are attentive to their rights. Lastly it is important to consider the cognitive processes that are involved in decisions making and their implications for women who are victims of violence.

Keywords : Women; Gender Violence; Domestic Violence; Decision Making.
