| Resumo: | Objective: to make a systematic review of studies on obstetric violence, reflecting on the parturient's right to the companion as a means of ensuring her physical and psychological health. Methods: bibliographic search of articles from different open-access databases and indexers, published in full in Portuguese from August 2019 to July 2020. It was selected scientific journals in Health Law and Public Health with high impact factor. Data from official documents made available on the websites of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the Perseu Abramo Foundation, and the World Health Organization were also used. Results: it was found that the violation of the right of pregnant women at the time of childbirth can be considered violence, as they lose their autonomy over their body, and that guaranteeing the right to a companion can reduce the incidence of this treatment. Conclusion: this violence is evident on several occasions, among them in the mechanized and technical attention on behalf of health professionals and, in this research, it is noted that, in part, this treatment occurs in the absence of monitoring of the pregnant woman by a person of their confidence, which is why it is possible to affirm that the effective enforcement of laws that protect the companion's right can significantly reduce the cases of obstetric violence. |
