My Body – My Choice. Live-Talk mit Ärzte ohne Grenzen: Körperliche Selbstbestimmung unter Beschuss.

In the organizer's words:

Live talk with Doctors Without Borders

www.msf.de/event

What does it actually mean to be able to control your own body?In our live talk, we discuss how the health and rights of women and girls are currently under attack worldwide. What does it mean when women and girls do not have access to safe abortions, for example? How can we overcome taboos and shame in the area of sexual health?

Speakers and moderation:

Anja Bezold has worked several times as a midwife with Doctors Without Borders, including in Yemen, Iraq, Tanzania and Gaza. She also works as a lecturer in midwifery in Berlin. She is passionate about the well-being of her patients, safe abortions and bodily self-determination.

Mertcan Usluer, known on Instagram as @Gynäkollege, is a freelance journalist and doctor from Cologne. With his videos, he manages to make medical topics accessible to a broad audience - in a way that is critical of racism, inclusive and intersectional.

Ninia laGrande (presenter) is an author, presenter and podcaster. Ninia actively promotes feminist and inclusive issues on Instagram and other social networks. Ninia moderates various formats, discussions and events on topics such as politics, society and pop culture.

What can you expect?

• A look beyond the horizon: personal reports from the work of Doctors Without Borders in crisis areas
• Discussions on what the global rise of right-wing populism has to do with the attack on the physical self-determination of women and girls. Get involved and ask your questions!
• What do prevention and family planning, safe abortions and aftercare look like in project work?

Why is this topic important?
Women and girls die every day because they do not have access to safe medical services that are tailored to their health needs. They are also often exposed to particular risks due to discrimination and inequality. In many projects, MSF therefore offers them specific medical care.
