| Beschreibung: | |
| Todays model of childbirth involves the imposition of an over-medicalized, interventionist approach that on many occasions involves violence and violations of the rights of expectant mothers. This publication describes the experiences that have developed over the past few years with the intention of reversing this situation, which affects the rights of women and their children and families. Most of the articles were prepared by members of RELACAHUPAN, who work throughout the region to restore womens protagonism during this stage of their lives and to revalidate the role of midwives as qualified medical personnel. The contents of this publication also clearly decry the way in which Western medicine continues to exercise control over womens bodies, pathologizing such vital stages as menstruation, pregnancy, labor and menopause and turning them into processes that must be treated and controlled from an exclusively biological perspective. By doing so, all of the emotional, psychological and social aspects of a womans life and their cultural, religious, ethnic/racial and other specificities are ignored. 1.
