Abstract
The growing interest in obstetric violence has transferred from health policy and the general media to criminal policy. In this sense, it has recently been proposed to criminalise certain interventions by health personnel during childbirth that affect the autonomy and physical integrity of women. Against this background, this paper first examines the necessity of such an intervention. Especially because, according to statistics, the high rates of caesarean sections or episiotomies in our country are not so much due to the actions of the professionals who perform them, but rather to structural problems in the health system. It is also worth pointing out the high demand of patients, which accounts for the problem of misinformation. In terms of the adequacy of this intervention, the current post-pandemic context should be considered in the context of a professional collective that has suffered particularly during these years. Here, too, it is important to note a public discourse in which the truth tends to be suppressed and in which actors interfere who are more interested in capitalising on the debate and instrumentalising it politically than in finding a rational solution to the problem.
