Introduction: Gender-based violence is a very important social issue due to the violation involved in the human women rights. Although women with mental disorders are most vulnerable to live violent experiences, there is a great deal of invisibility of this phenomenon in this community affected by mental illness and is reflected in the lack of research on this aspect. On the other hand, women with mental disorders who have suffered gender-based violence, report frequently to health centres, so, it is necessary to carry out activities of prevention, detection and act together with the health professionals, the judicial system and the social groups. Thus, considering the absence of studies that encompass this serious issue, it is considered very relevant to determine the dimension of the problem. Aims: Analyse the prevalence of gender-based violence on women with mental disorders treated in the Adults Mental Health Centres. On the other hand, we will identify the risk factors according to people sociodemographic profile and determine the prevalence of gender-based violence according to the women’s main mental disorder. Methodology: This is a descriptive, observational and transversal study with quantitative analysis, which will take place from September 2019 to December 2020 with the participation of 267 users of all Adult Mental Health Centres from Institut d’Assistència Sanitària (IAS). The sample will be chosen randomly stratified by centres and the questionnaire will be done in one visit of the user in a period of 6 months. The instrument that will be used is a sociodemographic ad-hoc questionnaire and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale 2. The personal data of the participants will be guaranteed and protected according to the Organic Law 3/2018 of December 5, of Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights
