The Laws of Social Reproduction project studies women’s reproductive labour across the marriage-market continuum, including, sex work, erotic dancing, surrogacy and egg donation, paid domestic work and unpaid domestic/care work. Our project demonstrates the law’s role in producing and entrenching the invisibility of women’s reproductive labour in these sectors, while also offering a comparison of the law’s highly differential regulation of these apparently disparate forms of female reproductive labour.

We will host a film screening of the documentary film ‘Working Girls’, based on our research and directed by Paromita Vohra at the Edouard Michelin Auditorium, Alliance Francaise of Madras.

All are welcome!
