Queer Parenthood - interdisciplinary event series at the TUDBook launch "Self-determined. For reproductive rights" with author Dinah Riese
Both female and queer bodies are still subject to heteronomy and state control. Forced sterilisations, abortions, access to contraceptives, maternal mortality in childbirth - all this is related to how the right to one's own body is formulated and implemented. Whose children are desired, even demanded, and whose are not, says a lot about the state of human rights in a society. It is a characteristic of fundamentalist and right-wing regimes to fight and suppress reproductive rights. But even in democracies, these rights are by no means realised.
Using numerous examples from India to the USA to Argentina, the authors describe the feminist struggle for bodily self-determination.
