Medicalização do parto: a apropriação dos processos reprodutivos femininos como causa da violência obstétrica by Kenia Martins Pimenta Fernandes, Carlos Mendes Rosa

“…The medicalization process gave rise to a form of violence resulting from the appropriation of female reproductive processes by health teams called obstetric violence, characterized by the use of harmful obstetric practices that lack scientific evidence of its effectiveness, which are permeated gender and social class prejudices and institutional racism. These aspects are among the main obstacles to dealing with obstetric violence, which needs to be looked at in an intersectional manner, with a focus on women’s autonomy regarding their bodies, taking into account the different forms of oppression to which they are subjected.…”
