Obstetric violence has not received the same amount of interest as other forms of violence against women (VAW). We assess the prevalence and factors associated with experiences of obstetric violence (obstetric abuse and violence, and nonconsensual care) among women between 15 and 49 years of age in their latest childbirth within the last 5 years by using the 2016 National Survey on Household Relationship Dynamics. (N = 24,126 women). A total of 33.3% of Mexican women experienced obstetrical violence in their last childbirth: 23.6% experienced obstetric abuse and violence and 17.1% nonconsensual care. Gender interacts with other social stratification variables. Obstetric violence is an extended practice in health care services. It is a human rights problem that must be prevented and eradicated
