48 years after the historic Roe v Wade ruling (1973) in the United States, and while some countries such as Ireland and Argentina have only recently legalised abortion, part of the world is still questioning this right. Why are women's bodies and what they decide to do with them still controversial? What political impact do these attacks have today, and what consequences? How can this fundamental right be guaranteed for all women, not only in law but also in practice? Young American activist Paxton Smith, who has succeeded in raising the awareness of an entire generation with a viral speech, as well as the sociologist Jacqueline Heinen and sexual health counsellor Chantal Abouchar, who brings a Swiss perspective to these questions, will all attempt to provide some answers to these questions.
