About this episode

The episode discusses reproductive justice in Gaza and the implications of reproductive genocide by the Israeli state.

In this episode we speak with Professors Isis Nusair and Bayan Abusneineh about reproductive justice in Gaza and learn that we can only have reproductive justice in Gaza if we acknowledge the reproductive genocide of the Israeli state, not just against Palestinian reproduction, but the reproduction of non-white Jewish bodies as well. In this episode, we invite you to consider not just the starvation of women and children now in Gaza, but the effect that can have for generations to come. We also invite you to consider how transnational feminism, the kind of feminism that links women dying in parking lots in Texas because they can’t access reproductive care, is linked to the reproductive genocide in Gaza.
