Salon Speakers 2021
Jana Pfenning & Rita Maglio
Let‘s revolutionize Birth Control!
Let’s talk about sex – or rather, contraceptives. For women*, there are several ways to prevent pregnancy. But the most popular contraception methods are hormonal or copper-based which can have a negative impact on one’s mental or physical health. Men* however only have two options: the irreversible vasectomy or the condom. It’s time for a revolution! With their petition @betterbirthcontrol, Jana Pfenning and Rita Maglio demand free and better contraceptives for everybody. In their talk, the two university students will explain why we still use out-dated contraception and how to tackle the status quo.
*We see the term “woman” and “man” as a social construct of gender and are aware that there is more natural variety in human’s sex than cis-woman and cis-man for whom gender equals sex. The * shall represent this diversity which is why we write women* and men*.
