Salud Mental Perinatal y Violencia Obstétrica
La violencia obstétrica y la salud mental perinatal están profundamente interconectadas. Sus impactos moldean las experiencias de las mujeres y las personas gestantes, el vínculo temprano entre madre y bebé, y las dinámicas familiares, dejando a menudo efectos emocionales y psicosociales duraderos.
Esta sección tiene como objetivo visibilizar estas intersecciones y analizarlas desde perspectivas comparadas, prestando atención a los determinantes sociales de la salud mental perinatal. Reunimos investigación, formación, prácticas de cuidado y conocimiento producido desde el activismo, en apoyo a una atención perinatal respetuosa.
Caja de Herramientas para Profesionales de la Salud Perinatal

Perinatal Mental Health and Obstetric Violence:
Towards a Dedicated Working Group within the IPOV Project
Obstetric violence and perinatal mental health constitute a key area of intersection that calls for dedicated attention within research, intervention, and training agendas. These issues are deeply intertwined and have lasting impacts not only on women and pregnant people, but also on their babies, families, and communities, influencing subjective experiences, early bonding, and care trajectories.
Within the IPOV project (International Platform on Obstetric Violence), which is oriented towards building global conceptual frameworks and strategies to address obstetric violence, we seek to develop this line of work in order to examine systematically its implications for perinatal mental health.
Through this section, we aim to map existing studies while also fostering dialogue between academic research, clinical practice, and knowledge generated through activism, incorporating an approach that is attentive to the psychosocial and emotional effects of violence in perinatal settings.
This line of work seeks to strengthen the production of situated and comparative knowledge, and to generate contributions that can engage with health-care provision and with collective strategies advanced by movements advocating for respectful perinatal care.
