March 8, 2025 will mark the first “anniversary” of the promulgation of the constitutional law on abortion in France, a symbolic date as it is International Women’s Rights Day. To mark the occasion, Maroun BADR, Doctor in Bioethics and Scholar Research at the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights – Rome, is organizing an online French-speaking day of reflection on the theme of “Bioethics and Fundamental Rights. A Women’s Perspective”. The aim is to highlight women’s dignity and rights from an interdisciplinary angle. In today’s complex socio-political context, there is an urgent need to re-emphasize the value of feminine identity, to defend the rights of women who respect this identity, and to promote their self-fulfillment through a holistic approach based on the dignity of the human person. Seven women specialists speakers will address a number of themes that represent a challenge at both national and international level.
