ResumenIntroducción: la violencia sexual es un problema de salud pública que afecta especialmente a menores, adolescentes y mujeres. Muchos de estos casos son atendidos en servicios de salud y no son conocidos por los operadores de justicia.Objetivo: caracterizar los casos de presuntas víctimas de delito sexual atendidas en los servicios de urgencias de dos instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud de mediana y alta complejidad del municipio de PalmiraValle del Cauca entre el 2012 y el 2015.Materiales y Métodos: estudio descriptivo, realizado con el total de los casos atendidos en dos instituciones de salud durante el periodo de estudio. A las variables cuantitativas se les calcularon medidas de tendencia central y dispersión; a las variables cualitativas, se les calcularon proporciones y razones. Se uso la prueba chi2 para explorar diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p≤0,05) entre las variables.Resultados: un total de 40 casos fueron identificados durante el periodo de estudio, el 95% fueron mujeres, 65% menores de edad. En el 70% de los casos la víctima conocía a su agresor; 50% se consumaron en la residencia de la víctima o el agresor. El uso de la fuerza, la amenaza, el chantaje y el engaño, fueron las principales formas de abordaje e inducción al silencio empleadas por el agresor.Conclusiones: las características de los eventos contra la libertad, integridad y formación sexual en las dos instituciones, son persistentes y comparables con estudios en otros países. La mayoría de las víctimas son mujeres y adolescentes de bajos estratos socioeconómicos, usuarias del sistema de salud subsidiado, cuyo agresor era alguien conocido.
