Ob-gyn Violence
Italy, Europe, and Canada
Synopsis
Obstetric and gynecological violence represents one of the most neglected forms of violence against women.
Difficult to define by the law, challenging to detect in daily practices, hard to prove and sanction before domestic and supranational Courts.
Although violence against women gained increasing legal resonance in the past few decades, obstetric and gynecological violence remains at the periphery of the constitutional and human rights law debate.
The book intends to shed light on the intersection among women’s human rights, violence, and reproductive rights, examining how and to what extent women are exposed to human rights violations and abuse in the exercise of their right to private life, sexual health, and reproduction.
Interlacing the legal and medical perspectives, the book aims to offer a national, comparative, and supranational analysis while paving the way to legislative mechanisms to effectively tackle obstetric and gynecological violence in the global scenario.
