Institutional obstetric violence, practiced by health teams and consented by women in labor who undergo it mainly because they are unaware of the physiological process of childbirth, in addition to not being informed by health professionals. The research is justified by the need to monitor and empower women to know and identify the characteristics of Obstetric Violence and, thus, to understand assistance for possible repercussions in obstetric practice. and forms of interventions to identify advances in public policies and the possibilities for their humanization. The methodological procedures involved a systematic literature review with scientific articles selected from the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Google Scholar with articles published in the period from 2005 to 2019. Obstetric violence is considered an invasive process that violates some women's rights when in labor. The importance of Social Work in the socio-historical process linked to the implementation of public policies stands out. It is necessary to have a greater understanding that women should be subjected to more humanized practices at the time of delivery. That there should be greater dissemination of public policies aimed at humanized delivery with respect to female individuality.
