This paper addresses the role of non-governmental organizations, providing solidarity support and disinterested in the problem of violence against women. In Mexico this social problem has been difficult to solve, because it has social and cultural roots. The stage is presented in the national framework and we also see government structuring such as the non-governmental organization through civil society that hosts this social eventuality in Nuevo Leon. A descriptive methodology was used and qualitative representation, reports and documents were accessed, that allowed us to delimit the object of study. Nuevo León’s scenario repeats social situation and violence that persists in Mexico. Nuevo Leon has 4.3 % of the country’s women, violence persists in 59.3 % of them. First cause was in a communal way, following the one imposed by his partner. Government structure provides legal and care services. However, civil society has organized to address this contingency, and in Nuevo León there are organizations that 4.87 % are related to women’s care in these cases. They perform care functions, human rights, self care, education and guidance, mental health services, capacity building and social reintegration.

Keywords : Civil society; non-governmental organizations; care; violence; gender; women.
