ABSTRACT
Introduction: Obstetric violence is a form of gender violence, it has become a global problem, violating the human rights of women, in particular their sexual and reproductive rights, negatively affecting their autonomy, their physical, psycho-emotional, and even social health. The approach to obstetric violence based on feminist critical analysis reflects that its bases lie in prejudices and sexist stereotypes that conceive reproduction as an act inherent to female nature. Thus, obstetric violence in health institutions does not respect, protect, or guarantee the human rights of women. Objective: To define the human rights violated through obstetric violence, as well as its impact on the health and dignity of women. Conclusions: Although the definition and characterization of obstetric violence is recent, it is important to address it as a priority. It is essential to increase the gender perspective in health institutions, to safeguard the dignity of women, eliminating existing prejudices and stereotypes regarding reproduction. Entering a health institution does not imply that women lose their rights, their human faculties, or their decision-making powers, freedom and dignity. It is necessary to increase research in the field of obstetric violence in order to obtain a greater interpretive vision of this phenomenon, its causes and consequences, and thereby achieve its gradual eradication.REFERENCES
