Cross-border reproductive services have become an expanding industry. It relies on a supply of body materials and bodily services provided by women on the one hand and a corresponding demand by individuals and couples on the other. However, knowledge about the actual scope, structure, regulation, and practices within the cross-border fertility industry is still sparse.

 

The workshop will address the experiences, working conditions, social situation, agency and self-organization of the women who contribute to this industry.

 

It asks: How is the cross-border fertility industry stratified in terms of gender, ethnicity, race, class, abled bodiness, and further axes of inequality?

How does the rise of cross-border fertility industry and/or corresponding state policies affect gender relations in different contexts?

How are we to assess these policies and developments from a gender and social justice perspective? And how should we understand and engage with this industry in the first place?
