Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive study, based on Paulo Freire's critical-liberating perspective, with 20 female educators from a public elementary school. An interview was conducted and the data was systematized in the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: it is reported that the female educators report the presence of body marks, behavioral changes and the impairment of school performance and attendance as signs that suggest the experience of domestic violence experienced by young people, although the high demand for work and unpreparedness make identification of the grievance difficult. Conclusion: the urgency, in view of the repercussions of domestic violence for the health and life of adolescents, is perceived by a management that considers the praxis of female educators in the process of recognizing and overcoming the problem.
