This article describes and analyzes the ways in which different levels of violence are linked together during the lives of women of reproductive age in the Los Altos region of Chiapas and the ways in which they die. Discussion is focused on an analysis of social relationships at the institutional level, between individuals, and between institutions and individuals. The authors conduct their analysis through individual histories, and demonstrate the society in which these women live and die. Poverty, backwardness, insensitivity, naturalization, concealment, omission and commission of violence all result in direct harmful effects on the health and education of these women and their possibilities for survival.

Keywords : violence and health; structural violence; premature death; female mortality.
