Method: a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 16 health managers from five maternity hospitals in Metropolitan Region II in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected through interviews, applied from May 2017 to May 2018, and submitted to content analysis in the thematic modality. Results: the research pointed out thenon-reception, technocratic principles of childbirth, refusal of the companion, disrespect to humanized practices centered on physiology and the choice of women, the need for health training as a guide for the humanization policy and the management of health units, professional unpreparedness for performance and lack of involvement of professionals with longer service time to modify practices in obstetric care. Thus, the need to break away from obstetric violence at the structural/institutional level was evident in order to guarantee quality care for women. Conclusion: it is the responsibility of the managers to provide training to health professionals regarding performance that respects the scientific evidence, the centrality and the axes of policies and recommendations in the area of sexual and reproductive health, especially to women regarding their autonomy.
