Abstract/Resumo
In a system of obstetric care where personal choice and self-determination are not
well established, their possibility is easily overridden in the face of what is perceived
as a dramatic threat to life. This piece considers both women’s voiced concern of the
impact of the COVID-19 containment measures readily implemented in maternal and
newborn health care provision, which focus exclusively on control and minimization
of risk of contagion at all costs to the detriment of positive perinatal experiences, and
the role of civil society organizations in denouncing and struggling for the
reinstatement of childbirth rights at health facilities.
