O dano moral configurado na violência obstétrica: Uma abordagem legal e jurisprudencial

Abstract

Obstetric violence is characterized by negligence and mistreatment of pregnant women by professionals, including the violation of reproductive rights, the pilgrimage to various services until receiving care and acceleration of birth to free up beds, among others. In this context, the present work, through deductive methodology, aimed to analyze, through doctrine and jurisprudence, obstetric violence from the perspective of doctors' civil liability and the damage for pain and suffering resulting from such conduct. To this end, the phenomenon of obstetric violence was analyzed and how it occurs, the civil liability taking into account the agents, the damage for pain and suffering that this conduct causes to parturient women, as well as the exposition of recent norms and jurisprudence regarding the subject, explaining the need for a majority understanding and typification of this conduct at federal level.
