Project: International Research Initiative on
Obstetric Violence The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research Unit is
launching an international, multi-country research project focused
on the study, prevention, and reduction of obstetric violence. This
initiative aims to develop evidence-based strategies, implement
improvement measures in delivery care, and foster cooperation and
knowledge exchange among participating countries. We are seeking a
qualified medical doctor specialised in Obstetrics and Gynaecology,
with a strong clinical and research background, particularly in
delivery room practice and high-risk pregnancy follow-up. The
selected candidate will contribute to a multidisciplinary project
aimed at identifying the causes, patterns, and systemic factors
associated with obstetric violence. The project seeks to promote
evidence-based, respectful maternity care aligned with
international human rights and medical standards. Key
responsibilities include reviewing clinical protocols and obstetric
practices, analysing patient care data, and helping design
assessment tools to evaluate the prevalence and types of obstetric
violence within healthcare institutions. The specialist will
collaborate with researchers, public health professionals, and
possibly community representatives to ensure a comprehensive and
culturally sensitive approach. In addition, the role may involve
contributing to academic publications, technical reports, and
presentations for stakeholders, including hospitals and
international organisations. A strong understanding of ethical
standards, patient consent, gender equity, and reproductive rights
is essential. Overall, this position offers an opportunity for an
obstetrics specialist to apply clinical expertise to a meaningful
social and public health initiative, helping transform maternity
care systems into safer, more respectful, and more equitable
environments for women Education and qualifications: Required:
