A violência obstétrica no Brasil como reflexo das desigualdades de gênero e raça: uma análise dos direitos da parturiente

Abstract

This study aims to identify the main forms of obstetric violence in Brazil and their intersections with issues of gender, race, and social class. To achieve this, a documentary analysis of national legislation, public policies, and specialized literature was conducted. The results indicate that Black, poor, and low-educated women are the most affected by obstetric violence, highlighting the importance of more equitable treatment within the healthcare system. It is concluded that, despite advances in public policies such as the Humanization Program for Prenatal Care and Birth and the National Comprehensive Health Policy for the Black Population, gaps still need to be filled to ensure more respectful and humane care.
