• Abstract: Objective: to describe the reported cases of violence against the homosexual, bisexual, transvestite, and transsexual population in the State of Espírito Santo, from 2014 to 2018. Method: descriptive study, carried out with notifications from 852 people aged between 10 and 60 years or more, between 2014 and 2018. The data were obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System database provided by the Espírito Santo State Department of Health. The dependent variable was “Patient’s sexual orientation” and “Gender identity” contained in the Interpersonal and Self-Inflicted Violence Reporting/Investigation Form. To carry out the statistical analyzes the Stata 14.1 software was used. Results: the lesbian population (50,5%) was the one with the highest frequency of reports of violence, followed by gays (26,6%). There is a predominance of transsexual female victims (60,8%), aged between 20 and 59 years (73,2%), black/brown race (70,0%), with education above nine years or more of study (57,3%) and residents of urban/peri-urban areas (93,7%). There is a prevalence of males (58,4%) as aggressors, aged between 20-59 years (79,2%), having a relationship as the victim's current or former intimate partner (39,2%). Conclusion: the majority of victims are women, lesbians, transsexuals, young people, without a partner and living in urban areas. The identification of the conditions of vulnerability in this population favors the planning of actions related to the promotion and prevention of violence, so that there are public strategies for the LGBT population.
