Sumario:It is well known that the global health crisis has affected the different aspects of human life: economy, education, health, among others, causing the attention of world public opinion to be focused on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the other pandemic in the shadows, the escalation of violence against women, children and adolescents, has taken a back seat, showing alarming figures that have put on the table again the debate on whether the solution to the problem is to radicalize the legal-police type measures or whether it should be faced as a public health problem with a gender approach that allows getting to the roots of the problem that point to the dismantling of a patriarchal social structure based on power relations and domination over women and minors.  The present research was carried out under a qualitative approach with a documentary review methodology of narrative type, nourished by primary and secondary sources of information. The design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the year 2020 with a non-experimental level. The objective of this work was to know the current status of the situation of violence against women, children and adolescents in Peru.
