Abstract
Gender violence is a recently made visible social phenomenon. One of the types of mistreatment of women is obstetric violence; phenomenon that has not been fully understood. This research aims to analyze obstetric violence in light of the Ecuadorian case, through a qualitative methodological approach and techniques that are based on bibliographic, casuistic, normative and doctrinal review. The case to be analyzed reaches the Constitutional Court of Ecuador through a constitutional mechanism called review of sentences. The Constitutional Court of Ecuador rules on binding jurisprudence for the legal system of Ecuador, setting an important precedent at the regional level. The Court appropriately measures this type of mistreatment of women, and also establishes a clear difference between health services and health rights. Pregnant women belong to what the Ecuadorian Constitution calls priority attention groups. The work carefully addresses legal figures that have not been fully developed in the Ecuadorian context.
