«Under His Eye»: riflessioni sul ruolo della tecnologia sul corpo delle donne a seguito della sentenza Dobbs della Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti

This short piece is aimed at showing that the role of technology with regard to women’s access to abortion is twofold: on the one hand, it is an empowering instrument, because through telemedicine women can overcome the limits of restrictive domestic laws; on the other hand, it might constitute a means to control women through tracking data from visitors to abortion clinics. The analysis is based on international human rights law, considering the specific situation in the US, but also taking into account the role of European NGOs in the provision of services through telemedicine.
