CALL FOR STORIES: FORCED STERILIZATION AND NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN
BBC Radio Four, the UK's most respected speech based radio network, is
making a documentary about the forced sterilization of women in the United States
by the Indian Health Service. We would be very grateful to hear from the
women who suffered from either being forced or coerced in to having a
sterilization operation during the 1970's onwards.
It is crucial for us is to hear people's stories in their own words.
Very few interviews with women directly affected by these practices have
ever been recorded, and through this documentary we would like to put on the
record the experiences of Native American women.
This is a story which remains completely unknown and untold in the UK.
As this is an extremely sensitive topic we would keep all names, locations
etc completely confidential. Our female production team will be flying out to
record interviews in the US for 4 days from the 10th of April this year and
we would like to hear from any women that would potentially like to speak to
them for this program. We understand that this is an incredibly sensitive area
and will be extremely grateful if people take part.
Please email in confidence the following producers:
Jo.meek @ allout.co.uk Or
Cordelia.rayner @ allout.co.uk
Many thanks for taking time to read this request
