SUMMARY:

This study's goal was to analyze the effects caused by obstetric violence in women who were violated when searching for healthcare assistance to give birth. It’s qualitative research was inspired by Sociopoetics’ methodology. The analysis was done through the lens of decolonial epistemologies, focused on gender and race. Reading this thesis is an invitation to travel together by the sensory and sensitive universe of women, from the many ways they will narrate their experiences of suffering obstetric violence. Through these pathways, we’ll visit memories of pain and suffering but also happiness, life potency, collective care, and means of resistance. Obstetric violence was perceived as a complex phenomenon that was constituted while a colonizing, misogynous, heteronormative, violent, and racist society was structuring itself and colonizing childbirth. The research has shown that this violation may occur in every stage of women’s lives and reproductive decisions, resulting in potential consequences for all dimensions of their lives. It is noteworthy that black women are more vulnerable to mistreatment and malpractice stemming from invisibility. As a result, this violation may act stopping their children’s birth or causing the death of these women and their conceptus. Thus, this violation was consolidated as a strategy in the coloniality of power, knowledge, and being and, beyond controlling women’s bodies, sexuality, and childbirth, served a eugenic ideological project of population whitening. In face of these facts, fighting it calls for women empowerment; humanization of sexual and reproductive healthcare; the guarantee of human, sexual, and reproductive rights; universal, integral, and equal access to healthcare; fighting racism and securing places of speech and the power to decide of black women in SUS services’ administration and in the production of knowledge.
