[Anarchafeminists] REMINDER Reproduction and the Politics of Technology, Women's Gathering, 28-29th March

[Gail Chester]

Reproduction and the Politics of Technology / Breaking the Frame Women's Gathering

 

At the first Breaking the Frame gathering in 2014, women began to develop a feminist analysis of the intersection between gender and the politics of technology and how it impacts on all aspects of our lives, e.g. in food production, work, surveillance, digital technology, and health. 

 

At this event we will continue that process, focusing on reproductive technologies, as public debate in this area has tended to be framed as science versus religious reaction, and ignores any feminist analysis. We shall be asking: are these technologies of benefit to women, and if so, which women, or do they risk our health and integrate our bodies further into the patriarchal capitalist system?

 

Join us to explore the issues with an outstanding set of speakers:

►Jalna Hanmer and Stevienna de Saille on a radical feminist analysis of reproductive technologies

►Rahila Gupta on sex selection and abortion

►Donna Dickenson on international and commercial surrogacy

►Miriam Zoll on the impact of IVF on women

►►Full programme on BTF website www.breakingtheframe.org.uk
