Abstract:

Objective: To know the perception of women about obstetric violencea racial perspective. Method: This is a qualitative research carried out in a public maternity hospital with 25 women in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation,November 2021 to February 2022. Content analysis was used to organize the data obtained through the interviews. The results were analyzed through the theoretical contributions of intersectionality, focusing on the interaction between obstetric violence and obstetric racism. Results: the narratives discuss issues of obstetric violence, institutional racism, and how these experiences are permeated by issues of race, gender and class. Questions related to the feelings of these women regarding the experience of violence at the time of childbirth care were also pointed out. Conclusion: Obstetric racism denies reproductive rights and hinders access to respectful and equitable care that women deny.
