Abstract

Objetive: to explore the experiences and perspectives that a group of midwives from Jalisco, Mexico had with women who were abused during pregnancy and delivery. Methodology: a qualitative study was conducted in a rural zone of Jalisco, Mexico, between May and October 2011 with 24 midwives. The techniques used to obtain the data were: individual interviews, life history, and the participatory regional assembly. After collecting the discourses, these were analyzed using the semiotic actantial model. Results: the midwives are familiar with the violence exercised against women during the pregnancy and birth process; this is mainly attributed tolocation- and sex-related aspects,which in turn shows the combination of pregnancy and violence as a risk factor for obstetrical problems. In addition, physical violence was the most common type of abuse, and the woman’s partner was the main aggressor. Finally, the midwives’ ability to speak, listen and identify the cases of violence is worth mentioning. Conclusion: it is necessary to assume a political stance on midwives that would help recognize their goal in society and incorporate them into any actions taken to stop domestic violence while valuing the midwives’ efforts to identify and aid thesemothers.
