Episode 67: Female Sterilization
Episode 67
Saturday, 7 June, 2025
Public health is meant to protect us—but history shows it can also be used to control us. In the 20th century, tens of thousands of people, mostly women, were forcibly sterilized. In this podcast, we dig into the unsettling history of forced sterilization in the United States. From historical eugenics laws to the current realities of reproductive justice, we’ll explore how public health policies crossed the line, and why understanding this history still matters today.
