Florencia Kot Hansen: Reproductive Health Activism Across Language Barriers and National Borders

From her home in Argentina, activist and filmmaker, Florencia Kot Hansen, talks with host Caren Beilin about her personal and cultural struggles with the IUD, and how this led her to found the multilingual listserv, "Copper IUD Detox," a resource for now thousands of women who have been negatively affected by the copper IUD. The two discuss the growing body of research around copper toxicity, feminism and reproductive health activism across language barriers and national borders, and her forthcoming documentary on the subject, "When Bodies Talk."
