Obstetric and gynaecological violence encompasses multiple forms of harmful practices perpetrated during obstetric and gynaecological care. This form of gender based violence is not recognised by national laws. FEMM Committee Chair, Robert Biedroń, presents the latest study to show that initiatives are being taken to improve healthcare professionals’ understanding of the issues at stake to raise awareness or to foster positive changes, and to help adopt a more gender-sensitive approach
