Violência obstétrica em populações vulneráveis: proteção constitucional e direitos humanos de grávidas privadas de liberdade

Abstract

This article addresses obstetric violence against pregnant women deprived of liberty, analyzing its forms, challenges, and the effectiveness of public policies and legal norms. It presents the following research problem: why do these women continue to be victims of obstetric violence in a system that should ensure their rights according to constitutional and international norms? The qualitative research, based on a literature review and documentary analysis, reveals that the application of laws is compromised by inadequate infrastructure, lack of professional training, and institutional neglect. It proposes the creation of health units in prisons, professional training, and the effective implementation of norms to guarantee the dignity and rights of these women.
