IPOV Dissemination Activities

Esta sección reúne las principales actividades de difusión del proyecto, entendidas —en línea con Horizon MSCA— como los procesos que hacen que los resultados de IPOV sean visibles, comprensibles y útiles para audiencias académicas, profesionales e institucionales.

These actions ensure that the knowledge generated through international exchanges, research activities and collaborative work reaches those who can apply it, strengthens scientific dialogue, and supports evidence-informed practices in maternity care and related fields.

Patrizia Quattrocchi presents "Increasing attention to Obstetric Violence: from social movements to international bodies," emphasizing how grassroots advocacy has propelled this critical issue to the forefront of international discussions. An inspiring and thought-provoking session that resonated deeply with the audience.

Las actividades de difusión en el proyecto IPOV – Respectful Care incluyen todas las acciones orientadas a compartir sus resultados científicos, metodológicos y técnicos con quienes puedan reutilizarlos: profesionales sanitarios, equipos de formación, responsables de políticas públicas, personal investigador y organizaciones sociales. No se trata solo de dar visibilidad al proyecto, sino de poner a disposición datos, herramientas, guías y materiales para que puedan adaptarse y aplicarse en distintos contextos, con el fin de prevenir la violencia obstétrica y promover una atención respetuosa.

Esta sección será especialmente relevante durante la segunda fase del proyecto (2026–2027), cuando se intensificará la publicación de resultados y productos concretos. Aquí encontrarás noticias, eventos e hitos clave de IPOV, pero recuerda que la plataforma también ofrece textos, recursos, vídeos y herramientas que desarrollan y profundizan en cada uno de estos avances.
