Communiqué de presse
MMS Conference 2023 (MMS/Bâle, 19 avril 2023) Les milieux conservateurs du monde entier attaquent frontalement les acquis du mouvement des femmes et des communautés LGBTQIA+. Ainsi, ce ne sont pas seulement les droits sexuels et reproductifs, mais aussi la lutte contre les maladies sexuellement transmissibles comme le VIH/sida qui sont remises en question. La conférence du Réseau Medicus Mundi Suisse appelle à s'opposer ouvertement à ces attaques.
Entretien avec Neil Datta. Un article de Dominique Hartmann
Le Courrier "La contestation contre les droits sexuels s’intensifie. L’activisme conservateur, organisé internationalement, forme la relève. Une organisation parlementaire européenne s’inquiète. (...) «Depuis dix, douze ans, on constate une augmentation de la contestation envers les droits sexuels et reproductifs existants», observe Neil Datta, directeur du European Parliamentary Forum for sexual and reproductive right (EPF), un réseau de parlementaire actifs et actives dans la défense de ces droits. Autrefois concentrés sur la militance pro-vie, ces milieux ont élargi leur champ d’action: «Tout ce qui a un lien avec le mot ‘genre’ est visé, résume Neil Datta."
