No estás sola : Visibilizando la violencia obstétrica

This book addresses obstetric violence from a perspective that focuses on the healthcare system and professional practices, highlighting how certain dynamics and protocols can violate women's rights during pregnancy and childbirth. Through real-life testimonies and critical analysis, Laia Casadevall demonstrates the urgent need to transform obstetric care toward truly respectful models, based on evidence and women's autonomy. It is, therefore, a clear guide for expectant mothers to understand their rights and the guarantees the system should offer them, as well as criteria for identifying respectful professionals and safe environments. It identifies the red lines that must not be crossed and that are the responsibility of institutions, not women. Designed for all women who have experienced obstetric violence, so that no one feels alone, this book offers a space for recognition and support. It also compiles legal resources, support organizations, and tools for addressing the physical and emotional consequences. The result is a necessary work that validates experiences, promotes reparation, and contributes to transforming the system towards more humane and respectful care.
