A violência obstétrica e responsabilidade civil durante o trabalho de parto

Abstract

The present work aims to explain obstetric violence as it occurs by any action or inaction that results in unnecessary suffering or harm to women during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and abortion, committed by health professionals and health institutions. In this study, using deductive methodology and based on doctrine and jurisprudence, we intend to examine the civil liability of health professionals and consequences in the face of obstetric violence. The concept of obstetric violence, civil liability, damage caused to the parturient woman and the newborn will be addressed, in addition to the need for specific legislation on the subject.
