Call for papers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign promoted by the UN, the journal DEP. Deportate, esuli, profughe\/DEP. Deportees, exiles, refugees <\/em>is organising an international conference on the theme of women\u2019s rights to reproductive freedom.<\/p>\n

Control of women\u2019s fertility has ancient origins, but it was only from the beginning of the 20th century, especially in Europe and the United States, that movements advocating birth control were born, the first birth control clinics were set up, new publications aimed at a wider public began to circulate, and dilemmas and ordeals that women were experiencing \u00a0spread also through theatrical pieces and literary works. This activism came to a peak with the so-called \u201cLa gr\u00e8ve des ventres\u201d protest.<\/p>\n

At that time, the assertion of the right to reproductive freedom intertwined with the suffrage movement, along with a radical criticism of medical science and its premises.<\/p>\n

During the world wars and in the postwar eras, the increasingly repressive laws that prohibited birth control practices gave new impetus to the movements, which gave rise to the struggles and the achievements of the following decades.<\/p>\n

The conference will be organised into the following thematic groups: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Women\u2019s and feminists\u2019 reflections on reproductive freedom on a wide time span, in various national contexts and disciplinary areas \u2013 philosophical, historical, legal, religious, literary;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Institutions and movements for birth control and sexual and reproductive freedom: activities and protagonists;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Communication strategies adopted by magazines, pamphlets, literary and artistic works;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Affirmation and development of women\u2019s reproductive rights as fundamental human rights;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Current debate on reproductive technologies, surrogate maternity, child marriages, criminalisation of abortion, practices of selective abortion, and birth control policies.<\/p>\n
