Bodies Under Siege: What's actually behind the Far Right's anti-women agenda? [1]

[]

Date: 2025-02

The rising global far right is violent, racist and misogynistic – and depends on exploiting women.

While many of us associate attacks on women’s bodily autonomy with ultra-religious groups, openDemocracy’s Sian Norris argues that the stripping away of abortion rights is a political issue, rooted in fascistic ideas about women and men. Her book, Bodies Under Siege: How the Far-Right Attack on Reproductive Rights Went Global, explains how organisations and individuals obsessed with stopping the “great replacement” are fuelling the assault on reproductive rights, and their success relies on recruiting, and exploiting, women.
