The narrative surrounding motherhood is not impartial. The way in which the media, films, literature, and even textbooks portray the process of giving birth and the women who go through it helps to cement stereotypes that directly influence how women are treated. With this premise in mind, the round table discussion “The communication that surrounds us: how are childbirth and women presented in everyday life?” was one of the main themes of this fourth edition of the International Congress on Obstetric Violence, held today at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló.

The session brought together professionals from the fields of communication and health: Paloma López Villafranca (University of Malaga), Helena Eyimi (midwife and educator), and Ana Requena (gender editor at *eldiario.es*). From their different perspectives, they analyzed how media discourse conditions the perception of childbirth, highlighting the lack of transparency in information, persistent stereotypes, and the scarce presence of women's voices. They also emphasized the role of audiovisual media in constructing images that present childbirth as a risky or marginal event, and the need to highlight other more diverse, critical narratives that focus on the women themselves.

The congress was organized by the Nursing Research Group (GIENF) in collaboration with the Purificación Escribano University Institute for Feminist and Gender Studies, the Observatory on Obstetric Violence, and the association El Parto es Nuestro, and was funded by the Ministry of Equality – Institute for Women. Under the slogan "From the imaginary to reality", this fourth edition has emphasized the power of audiovisual media to reinforce or transform the view of motherhood. The programme included presentations by leading figures such as Celia de Molina, Ramon Escuriet and Nahia Alkorta, as well as scientific communications and participatory activities.

This initiative delves deeper into critical reflection on how health, childbirth, and motherhood are communicated, and raises awareness of obstetric violence from an academic and transformative perspective. As journalist Ana Requena aptly put it during the round table discussion: "Whether it has a name or not, the important thing is that these gender perspectives begin to form part of the public debate. That in itself is a major step forward".
