One possible measure of a state’s development is its approach to women’s rights. It may therefore come as a surprise that abortion is illegal in Germany.
This situation in Germany is determined by Section 218 of the Criminal Code, which is regularly the subject of heated debates, disputes and demonstrations. Although it has been amended several times to ensure that abortion is not punished if certain conditions are met, it remains illegal. In practice, this means that the state actively enters people’s lives and often complicates an already difficult situation – with the sole aim of reducing the number of abortions. Members of the Berlin feminist group KINOKAS have recorded the testimonies of dozens of women who openly share their experiences of abortion. From this mosaic a clear call for the right to decide freely about one’s body, life and future emerges.
