A violência obstétrica e o direito fundamental das mulheres no ambiente hospitalar

Abstract

Obstetric violence refers to any type of abuse, discrimination or disrespect towards women during the birth and postpartum process. This research aims to analyze, from a legal perspective, the obstetric violence suffered by Brazilian women, and in what way, and which fundamental rights are violated. In this sense, it intends to carry out a brief bibliographical review on obstetric violence and the fundamental rights of women in the hospital environment and, finally, analyze, based on the readings and reviews carried out, from a legal perspective, obstetric violence as a practice today. The first chapter will address what types of practices qualify as violence and what are the consequences of these practices and what is the characterization of obstetric violence. In chapter two, we will deal with what the fundamental rights are, regarding the federal constitution. In short, chapter three will address the forms of prevention and reporting.
