Surrogacy and bodily autonomy as a matter of sexual and reproductive justice:
Rights and evidence based-perspectives.

This event situates surrogacy within the wider framework of
sexual and reproductive justice, human rights, and bodily autonomy.

The webinar will explore human-rights approaches to surrogacy,
the effects of criminalization and prohibition, and evidence-informed regulatory and feminist perspectives. The discussion will show how surrogacy can be grounded in autonomy, dignity, equality, and protection from exploitation.

Guided by an intersectional lens, the webinar will examine how gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, migration, economic inequality, and labour rights shape surrogacy.

Participants will also consider evidence on how restrictive frameworks undermine rights and discuss strategies for coalition-building and advocacy across movements.
