VICTIMIZATION AND NEED FOR LEGAL PROTECTION FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

The work makes visible a form of gender violence against pregnant women, performed by medical and administrative staff of health centers and in obstetricians' offices. This type of violence victimizes the pregnant woman in a brutal and inhuman way, with the use of a foul, denigrating language, threatening the dignity of the person, who on multiple occasions and for misinformation is subjected to not indulged medication and authoritarian manipulations harmful to her and her baby. With these actions and maneuvers they become victims of facts constituting crimes, which, due to the conditions of time and place in which they are committed, remain unpunished due to lack of legal advice for the woman who suffers them
