We look forward to supporting this event organised by the Bristol Humanists: Sian Norris on Bodies Under Siege: How the Far–Right Attack on Reproductive Rights Went Global Sian is a writer, journalist and copywriter specialising in reporting and investigations into women's rights – with a particular focus on reproductive rights and ending men's violence against women. Think today's anti-abortion ideas are rooted in religious prohibitions or arguments about where life begins? Wrong: today's anti-abortion movements is largely financed and planned by far-right extremists. Many of them are avowedly fascist and white supremacist, afraid of a "great replacement" of the world's white population by other races, who are working hard to reshape governments and policies across Europe, North America and around the world. Much of this far-right organizing and funding network, however, has been overlooked by today's feminist and left movements. More details to follow.
