ABSTRACT

Obstetric violence beyond the inappropriate and ignominious term, is interpreted as a whole problem with multiple edges, associated with the mistreatment suffered by pregnant women when they are judged, frightened, humiliated or physically and psychologically hurt. It occurs in places that provide medical services and we can find it in all spheres of society. In the medical units, there is an obligation to provide maternal health services from a human rights perspective and guarantee access to professional care during childbirth and the subsequent period, respecting the specific needs, uses and customs, and the decisions of women. Some maneuvers or procedures that have been incorporated into the context are: unjustified caesarean section, when the conditions exist to perform a natural birth, without the voluntary, express and informed consent of the woman; force to give birth lying down and/or immobilized; denying or hindering the ability to hold and breastfeed the baby immediately upon birth; failure to attend to obstetric emergencies in a timely and effective manner. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized that this mistreatment not only violates the right of women to respectful care, but can also endanger their right to life, health, physical integrity and not to be subjected to discrimination.
