Consequently, it presents in article 3 an exemplary role of conduct that can be considered verbal or physical offenses, among which: treating the pregnant or parturient in a way that makes her feel bad about the treatment received; make fun or reproach the parturient with verbal or physical acts; do not listen to the complaints and doubt about them; lowering women through tiny nominations; make her believe that the cesarean section is necessary, using hypothetical and unproven criteria; refuse birth attendance; transfer the hospitalization without analysis and confirmation of the existence of a vacancy; prevent follow-up throughout labor; prevent contact with family members and even restrict access to the cell phone; subjecting it to painful, unnecessary or humiliating treatment; not performing analgesia; performing unnecessary episiotomy; handcuffing the prisoners in labor; submitting them to procedure without prior permission or explanation; after delivery, taking to much time to accommodate her; submission to procedures exclusively for training students; performing routine aspiration or first-hour procedures in a healthy infant without having initial contact with the mother’s skin; removing the baby from the room unnecessarily; not informing women with more than 25 (twenty-five) years or more than 2 (two) children about the possibility of performing fallopian tubes ligation for free by the Unified Health System; denying free access of the baby’s father. 38 Because it deals with the law of the implementation of measures of information and protection to the pregnant and parturient woman against obstetric violence, as an information mechanism, the legislator imposed on the Executive Branch, through the Secretary of State for Health, the obligation to elaborate the so-called Rights of the Pregnant Woman and Parturient, which should contain “information and clarifications necessary for a decent and humanized hospital care” 39 . In addition, it mandated hospital establishments and equated them with health posts, basic health units and doctors’ offices specializing in the care of women’s health, to present informative posters containing the list of which are considered, exemplarily, offensive, provided for in paragraphs I to XXI above. Such informative graphic material should also include information on organs and procedures for possible denunciations in case of violence. Public organs of the respective scopes will be responsible for the application of sanctions due to non-compliance with the norms established by law, through administrative procedures. It ends, then, the normative text determining that the Executive Power will regulate the law. Because it is a recent legal document, there are no significant manifestations of the text, even if, as it traces in its commands, it will be necessary to regulate Law no. 17.097/2017, attributed to the Executive Branch (Article 8 40 ). 38 BRASIL.
