Violência obstétrica no Brasil

Abstract

This study highlighted the urgency of concrete measures to combat obstetric violence in Brazil. By revealing the often traumatic experiences of women during prepartum, childbirth and postpartum, it became evident the need for specific legislation that protects the rights of pregnant women and punishes cases of abuse. The lack of awareness about these rights and the difficulty in reporting cases contribute to the perpetuation of this problem. Therefore, in order to ensure a dignified and respectful birth for all women, it is crucial to implement public policies and educational actions that promote the empowerment of pregnant women and ensure the fulfillment of human rights in the obstetric context.
