Identifying the fundamental rights of women, with regard to motherhood, and understanding the pertinence of the subject humanization of childbirth and birth it was noticed that some of these rights were relativized, during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in certain cases, the right was completely ignored by hospitals and even health professionals. Therefore, from the observation of the position of the Brazilian legal system, through laws, jurisprudence and literature, it was possible to observe, from the study of civil liability, how the aggressors of the cases that occurred can be held accountable.
