TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Obstetric Violence Observatory: Contributions of Argentina to the international debate JO - Medical anthropology A1 - Quattrocchi, Patrizia SP - 1 EP - 15 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - In Latin America, over the past decade, the term "obstetric violence" has become part of the legal framework. Specific laws against obstetric violence - gender-based violence and the violation of human rights - exist in Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Uruguay. In Europe, the issue is raised by human rights organizations, social movements and academics, but no country has yet passed legislation on the matter. In this article, I focus on the contribution of Argentina to this international debate, particularly with respect to the implementation of the Obstetric Violence Observatory.
