Although abortion is legal in Italy, low-threshold access to safe interventions is often impeded.
The conference aims to be an opportunity for exchange and discussion on how to elevate abortion to be a universal human right. After the contributions of various experts on the ethical, health, preventive and legal implications of abortion, the audience will actively participate in discussion sessions.

- Mona Holm (Director of the Women’s Museum Norway Kvinnemuseet, initiator of the exhibition “SHHH! Stories about Abortion and Sexuality” https://shhh-stories.com/)
- Carla Reale (lawyer, expert in constitutional and bio-law, member of the Equality Commission of the Province of Trento)
- Esther Redolfi (philosopher, PhD in ethics and women’s studies)
