abstract: 'Background: This paper responds to the global call to action for
respectful maternity care (RMC) by examining whether and how gender
inequalities and unequal power dynamics in the health system undermine
quality of care or obstruct women''s capacities to exercise their rights
as both users and providers of maternity care.
Methods: We conducted a mapping review of peer-reviewed and gray
literature to examine whether gender inequality is a determinant of
mistreatment during childbirth. A search for peer-reviewed articles
published between January 1995 and September 2017 in PubMed, Embase,
SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases, supplemented by an appeal to
experts in the field, yielded 127 unique articles. We reviewed these
articles using a gender analysis framework that categorizes gender
inequalities into four key domains: access to assets, beliefs and
perceptions, practices and participation, and institutions, laws, and
policies. A total of 37 articles referred to gender inequalities in the
four domains and were included in the analysis.
Results: The mapping indicates that there have been important advances
in documenting mistreatment at the health facility, but less attention
has been paid to addressing the associated structural gender
inequalities. The limited evidence available shows that pregnant and
laboring women lack information and financial assets, voice, and agency
to exercise their rights to RMC. Women who defy traditional feminine
stereotypes of chastity and serenity often experience mistreatment by
providers as a result. At the same time, mistreatment of women inside
and outside of the health facility is normalized and accepted, including
by women themselves. As for health care providers, gender discrimination
is manifested through degrading working conditions, lack of respect for
their abilities, violence and harassment,, lack of mobility in the
community, lack of voice within their work setting, and limited training
opportunities and professionalization. All of these inequalities erode
their ability to deliver high quality care.
Conclusion: While the evidence base is limited, the literature clearly
shows that gender inequality-for both clients and providers-contributes
to mistreatment and abuse in maternity care. Researchers, advocates, and
practitioners need to further investigate and build upon lessons from
the broader gender equality, violence prevention, and rights-based
health movements to expand the agenda on mistreatment in childbirth and
develop effective interventions.'
