Mijn belichaamde kennis is van waarde

Based on autoethnographic material and feminist theory, such as care ethics and epistemic (in)justice studies, we expose four forms of epistemic injustice in reproductive care in the Netherlands: hermeneutical injustice, testimonial injustice, willful hermeneutical ignorance, and gaslighting. These forms of injustice rest on deeply rooted systems and their associated assumptions and on practices that produce and reproduce this injustice. We draw upon care ethics to suggest alternative practices that may counter these epistemic forms of obstetric violence, by explicating the (embodied) voice of the care receiver in reproductive care
