Obstetric Violence
“What should I do if I am a victim of sexual assault or obstetric violence by my doctor?’
Women routinely report being denied food and drink, being forced to lie in one position during labor, being denied the choice of VBAC, receiving frequent, rough vaginal examinations, having their waters ruptured without consent, being denied the desired number of support people, and being given episiotomies after explicitly refusing during care provided by an Obstetrician in the United States. But some women experience far worse at the hands of legally protected and societally protected obstetricians - they suffer sexual assault.
Join human rights lawyer, Kesha Chiappinelli, JD, IBCLC and maternal/child health investigator Augustine Colebrook, MA-MCHS as they dissect one segment of the maternity crisis in the United States every week.
