HERNANDEZ, Eduarda  and  RANGEL-FLORES, Yesica Yolanda. An intersectionality look at obstetric violence in indigenous women. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.37, pp.31-48.  Epub May 03, 2024. ISSN 1870-3569.  https://doi.org/10.46530/cf.vi37/cnfns.n37.p31-48.

The objective was to analyze the experiences and conditions that enhanced the violation of obstetric violence in a group of Nahua women. Qualitative study in which ten women who experienced childbirth in the last three years were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s proposal. Women faced higher levels of vulnerability because of their gender status, and also because they live with high levels of poverty and marginalization, they do not understand Spanish well and they have a worldview that makes them experience the disowning of their bodies more painfully, within sexist, patriarchal and lacking-of-interculturality institutions.

Keywords : obstetric violence; violence in childbirth; indigenous women; intersectionality; qualitative research.
