Deputy calls to criminalise violence in obstetrics By Paula Martins, in News, Crime · 23-07-2021 01:00:00 · 0 Comments
Recently, a petition has been circulating on social media and a draft will be presented to parliament to criminalise obstetric violence in Portugal, a situation that remains in the shadows of the law.
Deputy Cristina Rodrigues (ex-PAN) is already known in the Portuguese media for giving voice to controversial issues and in this case, she brings up a new subject: obstetric violence.
In Portugal, this is a topic where there is still little clarification, with many female voices stating that the problem exists in the country but without sufficient data and discussion around the subject.
