La violencia gineco-obstétrica en mujeres indígenas en el Ecuador

Abstract

This research work aims to determine the factors that affect the violation of sexual and reproductive rights through gynecological-obstetric violence using the theoretical foundation and review of documentary sources. Specific objectives were met via the implementation of various research methods, which helped the development of the conclusions of this study. It is, so that were identified the leading causes, such as discrimination, language barriers, illiteracy, socioeconomic and ethnic limitations, and beliefs, that generate violations of sexual and reproductive health rights in indigenous women. Likewise, the consequences on indigenous women's physical and psychological health were specified, as they are victims of inadequate procedures performed in health institutions without their consent, annulling their decisions in their labor, delivery, and other processes.
