VIOLÊNCIA OBSTÉTRICA EM MULHERES PRETAS: ANÁLISE JURISPRUDENCIAL DA REGIÃO CENTRO-OESTE

Abstract

This article aims at obstetric violence. For a better understanding of the subject, a bibliographical and documentary review was carried out, opting for the racial approach, due to the higher incidence of this type of violence in black women. It appears at the outset that obstetric violence is a recent topic and, therefore, lacks bibliographic material, especially in the legal field. The social relevance consists of, based on the analyzes carried out, bringing reflections on the so-called practice of obstetric violence in black women, justifying the research that follows as an instance of study and visibility of the theme. The study, based on documentary and bibliographical research, proposes a content analysis of the material inventoried in a qualitative and quantitative way, as well as an analysis of jurisprudence, aiming, in general, to analyze the incidence of obstetric violence and why its incidence is higher in the group of black women and specifically, present the concept of obstetric violence and raise what legal science, related areas and the legislature have produced in this regard. It should be noted that the bibliographic and documentary review on the subject was carried out, and it was found that, despite being the core of several discussions, obstetric violence still lacks research and laws, it was also observed to be a little-known form of violence. , the practice of this type of violence is not punished, and the women victims of this type of violence themselves do not recognize it, as there is a very large lack of information and dissemination on the subject.
