Justicia restaurativa como estrategia transformadora frente a la violencia obstétrica

Obstetric violence is a specific form of gender-based violence that occurs within both public and private healthcare systems and violates the rights of women and their newborns. Restorative justice, conceived as a formative rather than punitive process, can become a transformative tool to repair harm and prevent further violations. This essay presents a critical analysis of restorative justice in cases of obstetric violence, highlighting the importance of time, safe spaces, and health team training to ensure ethical and meaningful processes of reparation.
