Demos and the World Policy Institute
present a lunch discussion with
Michelle Goldberg, author of Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
12 - 1:45 pm
Michele Wucker, Executive Director of the World Policy Institute, will moderate.
Effectively addressing larger issues of poverty, environmental degradation and security depends on ensuring the rights and status of women in developing countries, Michelle Goldberg argues in her groundbreaking work of investigative journalism. Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World exposes the global war on women's reproductive rights and its disastrous and unreported consequences for the future of the world. Goldberg travels through four continents, examining issues such as abortion, female circumcision, and Asia's missing girls. Reporting with unique insight from both the rarefied realm of international policy and from individual women's lives, Goldberg’s expose of the economic, demographic, and health consequences of women's oppression shows convincingly that the emancipation of women is the key human rights struggle of the twenty-first century.
