Abstract

The number of women victims of obstetric violence grows exponentially daily; it is estimated that 62,8% of deaths are of black women, thus revealing institutional racism in hospitals. However, the matter is neglected and its practice does not reflect relevant sanctions, but only damages for moral damage. Thus, the present scientific work has as main objective to present, from a doctrinal and legislative research, the feasibility of the discussion from an intersectional and defender of human rights view, in addition to presenting arguments favorable to the criminalization of this conduct.
