Aiming to identify the form of organization and performance of the humanization groups for childbirth and birth in the metropolitan region of Belém do Pará, the study hypothesizes the predominance of a critical pedagogy in the way of conducting their activities. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach that demonstrated the heterogeneity of these groups, highlighting that there is a common female role in the dissemination, defense and promotion of other forms of childbirth and criticism of the imposition of cesarean section. The groups studied and with the greatest visibility were: Ishtar Belém, e TransformaDor Project. They converge in relation to the methodology of action: lectures, conversation circles, cine debates, leafleting and production of digital content on social networks, in addition to acting in favor of female empowerment in the delivery scene. Thus, we identified non-formal educational processes based on popular education strategies, valuing the dialogue and experience of these women.
