Violência obstétrica e riscos à saúde da mulher indígena: uma abordagem jurídica da discriminação institucional nos estabelecimentos de saúde

This study aims to explore issues related to obstetric violence within the scope of violations of the right to health in healthcare institutions, focusing on the institutional discrimination faced by Indigenous women in Brazil. Through the analysis of data and testimonies, the research highlights the context of profound disrespect not only toward their culture but, above all, to their dignity. Such violations are manifested in abuses occurringduring prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum, often perpetrated by healthcare professionals responsible for their treatment. Although the right to health is widely discussed in normative texts—particularly by international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS)—the reality experienced by Indigenous women reveals a persistent gap between legal guarantees and their effective implementation.
