Introduction: Obstetric violence can involve physical, verbal, psychological and sexual abuse, and neglect of care. Refusal to administer pain relief, disrespectful treatment, deprivation of women’s right to be accompanied during childbirth, medical interventions without their prior consent are some examples of this violence, which is an increasingly present but hidden practice in healthcare services in Brazil. This study aims to analyze the narratives of labouring women on obstetric violence in the light of the theory of culture care diversity and universality. Materials and Methods: A qualitative cross-sectional study developed in the light of the Family Health Strategy was conducted with ten labouring women. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview with results organized and adapted to the Sunrise Model. Results: Most participants were young, married/in a stable relationship, primiparous with vaginal delivery. Based on the model principles, the lack of knowledge about childbirth/labor, medication, violence against women resulting from miscommunication, body exposure and discomfort leads to weakened care provision and dissatisfaction with health services. Discussion: Obstetric violence is a common practice in the Brazilian scenario that often occurs covertly due to the lack of knowledge about its existence and childbirth rights as labouring women. Conclusions: Obstetric violence involves sexual, physical, psychological and institutional abuse, making the act of giving birth seem frightening due to fear, lack of communication and weakened care provision.
