The UN is right for a woman who suffered obstetric violence at Donostia Hospital

  • The woman was forced to deliver by cesarean section, without waiting for the 24 hours indicated by the protocol. During the intervention his arms were tied and at birth he was transferred directly to the pediatrician.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The woman arrived at the hospital in San Sebastian in 2012 with 38 weeks of pregnancy, due to the waters. However, doctors ignored the 24-hour waiting protocol and performed a C-section to remove the baby. He was a premature child who underwent surgery without the woman's permission. The United Nations Organization has now reasoned women and has denounced the fact that women suffered obstetric violence suffered by pregnant women from health professionals.

D.N.A. go first to the primary care physician for anxiety symptoms. There he was diagnosed with “postpartum stress disorder”. The UN denounces that he went to Spanish justice, but was told that the doctor had the last word and that the psychological damage reported by the victim was “a matter of perception.” Hiroko Akizuki, a member of the UN Commission on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, pointed out that “if doctors and nurses had complied with all applicable standards and protocols, the victim could have been given natural birth without having to go through the procedure that traumatized physically and mentally.”

UN Resolution

The United Nations Commission has stressed that obstetric violence is a “widespread, systematic and rooted phenomenon in the health system”. It consists of 23 experts, 22 of them women and led by Gladys Acosta.

The Commission has asked the Spanish State to grant the victim “adequate compensation for damage to physical and psychological health” and to respect the “autonomy and capacity” of women, providing all information on the delivery process. It also emphasizes the need to receive free, prior and informed consent from the pregnant person before applying invasive treatments in childbirth.

The UN points out that national authorities should provide vocational training in the field of women's reproductive health rights to pregnant women in the field of health care. On the other hand, they must also provide specialized training similar to that of judicial and law enforcement personnel.
