View this email in your browser A new paper in the SRHM journal challenges faulty assumptions about oral contraceptives which have led to the sidestepping of human rights and medical ethics and, in so doing, allowed sex testing regulations to persist.  What do oral contraceptive pills have to do with human rights abuses in sport?  Katrina Karkazis, PhD, MPH and Michele Krech, J.S.D With two important upcoming cases (before the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the European Court of Human Rights), we urgently revisit these faulty assumptions in a webinar organized by SRHM in partnership with the Global Health Justice Partnership of Yale Law and Public Health Schools on Monday May 6, 2024, at 9:00 AM EST, 3pm CET, 6pm IST Illuminating the problematic assumptions in the factual record produced in the central case challenging sex testing regulations, brought by South African runner Caster Semenya, reveals the human rights violation and unethical medical practice at the core of these regulations: a coerced "medical" intervention.
