Aims
Question the assumption that older and newer forms of contraceptives, new reproductive technologies and genetic engineering are neutral or even benign; monitor international developments in the areas of reproductive medicine, contraceptives, fertility drugs, in-vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, surrogacy, sex selection and determination, cloning, genetic screening and genetic manipulation; assess implications of these and related technologies for the socio-economic position and wellbeing of women; raise public awareness of contraceptive and reproductive technologies and genetic engineering and the ways they are linked; analyse relations between science, technology and social relations in the patriarchal societies underlying these technologies, implications for the feminist movement and development of alternatives which respect women and nature; extend links with women internationally to pool information and insights and develop strategies for consideration; work towards a global movement of feminist resistance to population control policies and reproductive and genetic engineering, while confronting issues that divide women because of social, economic, political and cultural differences.
