To know the woman perceptions assisted in a Basic Health Unit about the preventive exam of uterine cervix cancer. Exploratory research, descriptive, with qualitative approach, developed with 15 women who frequent a Basic Health Unit of a country town of the state Rio Grande do Sul, using a script for the half-structured interview. The women show some knowledge about the exam, even being superficial and confusing. The health professionals have, at their reach, the health education as strategy for the women empowerment, considering their personal subjectivity acquired.
