Obstetric Violence contributes to birth trauma, and difficult birth experiences which in turn contribute to difficult early parenting experiences.

Some of the categories of obstetric violence include:

  • Physical abuse

  • Non consensual care

  • Non Confidential care

  • Non dignified care

  • Abandoned or neglected care

  • Discrimination

  • Detention against the person’s will

  • Lack of privacy
