Reproductive justice: Sibel Schick and Alicia Baier

Author Sibel Schick ("My Body – Whose Decision? Why we need reproductive justice”) and “Doctors for Choice” founding chair Dr Alicia Baier (“Patriarchy in the Uterus») approach the issue from different perspectives.

On this evening, they will read from their latest books and discuss the importance of reproductive justice and bodily self-determination – from personal experience to structural contexts.

This event is part of the KIN Festival – as well as the public launch of Cramp Mag, a newsletter on reproductive rights by journalist Gabriella Alvarez-Hummel, who will be hosting the evening.
