Based on the article by Swartz and Lappeman, we propose in this commentary to reflect on three central components linked to the concept of obstetric violence: the withdrawal of intentionality as a founding element of its recognition, the preponderant place given to the perspective of women and those affected by it, as well as the recognition of its sexist, gendered, and systemic character. We also discuss the epistemic injustice associated with obstetric violence. We stress the importance of including both health workers and health systems in the equation, even though they may be offended by the use of the term. We conclude by recalling that significant leadership must be exercised by health care workers and institutions to put an end to this form of violence.
基于 Swartz 和 Lappeman 的文章，我们在这篇评论中提出反思与产科暴力概念相关的三个核心组成部分：将意图的撤回作为其识别的基本要素、给予女性和受其影响的人的观点以主导地位，以及承认其具有性别歧视、性别化和系统性的特征。我们还讨论了与产科暴力相关的认识不公正。我们强调将卫生工作者和卫生系统都纳入这一问题的重要性，即使他们可能会对使用这个术语感到不满。最后，我们回顾了卫生保健工作者和机构必须发挥重要领导作用，以结束这种形式的暴力。
