In December 1966, all means of family planning and abortion were unexpectedly banned in Romania. This sudden enactment led to a boom in unintended and mistimed pregnancies, and to an immediate increase in the number of births, as abortion was widely used as the primary birth control method.
In this seminar, Selin will explore the consequences and impact of the ban.
This event will be particularly useful for academics and policymakers.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
