Extract

In March 2018, Amnesty International published the Body Politics: Criminalization of Sexuality and Reproduction series, a new resource to equip its global movement, as well as partners and advocates, to challenge unjust criminalization of sexual and reproductive actions, decisions, and gender expression. The series includes a book-length primer that provides our overarching theoretical analysis regarding states’ resort to criminalized approaches to sexuality and reproduction, an overview of international human rights standards that apply to these issues, case studies, and substantive issue annexes on abortion, sex work, sex outside of marriage, adolescent sexuality, conduct during pregnancy (such as drug use), same-sex sexuality and HIV exposure, non-disclosure, and transmission.

Type
