Film & Discussion: Testimonials from the Uterus

The film:
We will show the film "Testimonials from the uterus", a documentary that was produced as part of the health project "Health care for all without discrimination" by Women in Exile e.V.
In the film three refugee women give testimonies regarding different experiences they have had around their health issues and how the health care system treats them as asylum seekers. Also professionals supporting refugees share the reflections of what it means to be a non-citizen when trying to access the German health care system.

After the screening of the film, there will be a panel discussion.
Participants are:

• Daniellis Hernández Calderón (director)
• Halima Farah (Women in Exile)
• Dr. med. Gabriele Halder (gynecologist, BALANCE Family Planning Centre)
• Sabine Will (general practitioner, IPPNW)

Women in Exile e.V. will moderate the discussion.
The event is part of the preparatory process for a Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal on refugees‘ right to health and physical and mental integrity. The Tribunal is scheduled to be held in Berlin in Octobre 2020.
