Background: Every woman is entitled to respectful care during pregnancy and childbirth as a basic human right. However, not all women are being treated equally well.
Case presentation: This case study highlights some of the common disrespectful practices that women face. This is a testimony of a 28-year-old mother of two, narrated in her own words. The data were collected during an in-depth interview in November 2019. The interview was conducted in her house and her name has been changed to protect her identity. The interview was audio-taped by a digital voice recorder, later transcribed and translated verbatim from the local language, Amharic, to English.
Conclusion: This woman’s story highlights the unfortunate reality for some women. Five themes emerged from her narrative: denial of care, non-consented care, non-dignified care, taking a sick baby home with resentment, and loss of trust of care providers.
