What Is Obstetric Violence? | Know Your Rights with Cristen Pascucci

What Is Obstetric Violence? | Know Your Rights with Cristen Pascucci

Today we talk with Cristen Pascucci, the founder of Birth Monopoly (https://birthmonopoly.com/), an organization that is committed to advancing the human right of each birthing person to determine how, where, and with whom they give birth. Cristen shares how her experience giving birth led to her awareness of the violation of women’s rights in birth across the country. We talk about how common thought surrounding childbirth can lead from assault and degradation to normalization. We also discuss obstetric violence and how the history of obstetrics has led to the conditions and culture surrounding birth today. We go further into obstetric violence, discussing terminology, matters of legality vs. hospital policy, and other nuances surrounding consent and birth plans. Cristen’s Background in Birth 1:08 Changing Mainstream Birth Culture; Safety and Choice 12:07 Obstetric Violence 24:00 Other Forms of Obstetric Violence; Legality vs. Policy 44:22 “Saying that it’s not 100% safe is not an excuse for over medicalizing it and forcing things on people. And we know that it doesn’t equate to better health outcomes. And I think that’s the thing that continually blows my mind: when I see the justifications for certain assaults, of like, ‘Well, we need to keep somebody healthy here.’ No, no, no, because you’re literally doing the riskier thing.” 21:07 https://birthmonopoly.com/
