Violência obstétrica no Brasil e a parturiente como sujeito de direitos durante o trabalho de parto

Abstract

Obstetric violence can happen in different ways and brings with it many harmful consequences for women, in addition to hurting their dignity as a person and mitigating their fundamental rights. In this way, the present work aims to present to what extent the violent practices of health professionals during labor mitigate the fundamental rights of parturients. The methodology chosen to develop the study was qualitative and exploratory bibliographical research, since it analyzed what has already been published in the literature in the form of scientific articles, books and legislative texts available online and free of charge. The results and discussions are based on the bibliographical exploration of doctrinal works, scientific articles applied to the subject and legislative texts that deal with the theme. In this way, it is concluded that there is a need to give the issue of obstetric violence more notoriety in public debates so that, in this way, women are more aware of their rights during labor and know how to identify when they are being violated.
