Our third reflection engages with Chervenak et al’s claim that β€˜obstetric violence is a misnomer’.
We explore why language matters, how #ObstetricViolence connects to gender-based violence, & why ethics alone cannot address systemic harm. Read it here: durham.ac.uk/research/ins...

Reflecting on the Conceptualisation and Criminalisation of Obstetric Violence - Durham University

Our first reflection explores whether criminalisation is the right response to #ObstetricViolence.
