Résumé (français)  :

Abstract (English)  :

Importantly, there is power in language. Suppose we refrained from using the term ‘domestic violence’ and instead replaced it with ‘marital disharmony.’ Or if we dropped the term ‘rape’ in favour of ‘non-consensual sexual relations’. Perhaps a more appropriate example reflecting the insidious nature of obstetric violence would be to swap the word ‘racism’ to ‘unfavourable treatment’. If these changes were pursued, the seriousness of the acts would be undermined, resulting in a minimisation of the victim/survivor experience. Ultimately, we need to ask whose needs are served when violence is minimised. Whilst the authors may consider this a good way to forge collaborative working “between individuals and institutions” in aid of improving women’s experiences, I consider it a way for the medical establishment to dictate the narrative and silence women.
