This research aims to study the determinations of gender-based violence with the goal to understand the process of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization of women at risk and threat of death who were attended at the Woman's Reference Center (WRC) called Casa Brasilândia. Violence against women is a social question which is the work's object of social workers, and is present in Brazilian society as well as in the world s in its various forms, dimensions and expresses shocking data. The referral to the shelters is offered as an extreme option used to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of women exposed to imminent risk of death and when there are no other possibilities to keep them away of the author's aggression or threat. The theoretical research was based on the categories: gender-based relations, women's movement, domestic violence against women, gender-based violence and institutionalized women. The literature was focused in finding information about domestic violence in electronic sources, as well as in books, magazines, newspapers, journal articles, and quantitative research. The empirical research, which was also qualitative, discovered 72 records of women assisted by WRC and who were sent to shelters from 2011 to 2014. Beyond the documentary research, we interviewed two women so they could speak for themselves about the experience of the being in and out of the shelter. Throughout these two interviews we could understand the meanings that the women attributed to their own experience. We interviewed, also, a social worker and a psychologist (coordinator), both from the technical team of the WRC Casa Brasilândia in order to know what was their comprehension about the process of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization of women who suffered violence and were threatened of death. In the process of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization we could find three stages: 1. the institutionalization, when we analyzed the reasons that led to this decision; 2. the permanence in the shelter and all the difficulties related to rule's compliance and interpersonal cohabitation; 3. the deinstitutionalization, trying to understand the reasons for this, analyzing the risks and possibilities about the physical and emotional integrity of these women. In conclusion, despite of the progress related to the legal protection and organized services, we still face a negligent State and a lack of resources to fight against gender-based violence. This kind of violence is not understood as part of a major situation of violence and as part of the social question which requires public politics to solve
