This book is inspired by a statement released by the World Health
Organization directed at preventing and eliminating disrespectful
and abusive treatment during facility-based childbirth. Exploring
the nature of vulnerability during childbirth, and the factors
which make childbirth a site for violence and control, the book
looks at the role of law in the regulation of professional
intervention in childbirth. The WHO statement and other published
work on 'mistreatment', 'obstetric violence', 'birth trauma',
'birth rape', and 'dehumanised care' all point to the presence of
vulnerability, violence, and control in childbirth. This collected
edition explores these issues in the experience of those giving
birth, and for those providing obstetric services. It further
offers insights regarding legal avenues of redress in the context
of this emerging area of concern. Using violence, vulnerability,
and control as a lens through which to consider multiple facets of
the law, the book brings together innovative research from an
interdisciplinary selection of authors. The book will appeal to
scholars of law and legal academics, specifically in relation to
tort, criminal law, medical law, and human rights. It will also be
of interest to postgraduate scholars of medical ethics and those
concerned with gender studies more broadly.
