This week on Brazen Presents, we’re sharing perspectives on abortion and reproductive rights from the Middle East via the People Like Us podcast.

Fifty years ago, the US Supreme Court made a landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which enshrined abortion as a constitutional right. Last June, the court overturned that decision. In this episode of People Like Us, host Kim Ghattas asks her guests: How do the new restrictions on abortion in the US impact the battle for reproductive rights in the rest of the world? And what does “My Body My Choice” mean in the Middle East?

In this episode we hear from Nana Abulseoud from RESURJ, in Cairo, on the global battle to preserve progress made on women’s reproductive rights in the last two decades. Kim also speaks with Sandrine Atallah, Lebanon’s first doctor in sexual medicine, about her efforts to bring sex education to social media, and Sura, one of the anonymous co-founders of Mauj, a sexual awareness and education online platform, tells me why they created Deem, a vibrator for Arab women everywhere.
