International network for reproductive rights in politics, health and media. Film & Discussion

From Civilmedia

Sarah Diehl

Reproductive Rights, the right to physical self-determination and abortion is a fairly underrepresented topic within western feminist/alternative/leftwing media. Most people are not aware of the problem, that even within the EU Irish, Maltese and Polish women do not have access to legal safe abortions. Starting from the documentary film Abortion Democracy - Poland/South Africa we want to discuss the possibilities of networking in different professions (laywers, doctors, politicians, activists) and countries to make this problem more visible. We also want to observe how anti-choice organizations (often disguised as help-websites) use the internet for spreading false illustrations and information to stigmatise abortion and to lobby for outlawing reproductive rights worldwide.
