Launched in 2019. Here to fight against UK proposals on law reform and raise awareness of the darker side of #surrogacy.





The surrogacy industry recruits in war zones. In 2021–2022, European Network of Migrant Women (ENoMW) and ICASM conducted the first systematic investigation of its kind, examining cases across 72 countries, with in-depth analysis of Greece, Ukraine, Mexico, and India. The findings are unambiguous. Migrant and displaced women are recruited as surrogates in two distinct ways: they are targeted in their country of arrival without surrogacy having been the reason for their migration; and they are moved specifically to another country for the purpose of surrogacy or egg donation. In Ukraine, recruiters (often themselves former surrogates) operated in Crimea, the Donbas, and Luhansk, targeting women displaced by conflict. The payment offered is roughly five times the average annual salary in those regions. In Greece, migrant women were recruited after arrival: their precarity as displaced persons making them accessible to an industry that does not require consent to exploit vulnerability. The recruitment networks documented share structural features with prostitution networks: deception, displacement, economic coercion, the recycling of formerly exploited women as recruiters. Before this investigation, almost no academic literature or official reporting documented this dimension of the industry. The statistical invisibility was not accidental: an industry without data has no accountability. The absence of data is how the surrogacy industry protects itself. #AbolishSurrogacy #ReproductiveExploitation #SurrogacyIsTrafficking abolition-ms.org/en/news/migran…

Drewitt-Barlow, agency & football club owner, commissioning parent & dog breeder, has courted the media for decades. From the news coverage of his first twins purchase in 1999 with ex-husband Tony to tv shows Below Deck and Stacy Dooley Sleeps Over, has the bubble finally burst?

No shit Sherlock. Les politiciens qui veulent légiférer pour leurs propres intérêts narcissiques et plus les intérêts de la société. L'enfer.




On first sight this is a grandmother meeting her grandchild whilst receiving medical care. The 2nd image shows that Kristine Casey, 61 at the time, is the mother and grandmother of Baby Finnean. There are no upper age limits in law for surrogate mothers in #lawreform proposals.





This couple are not facing a legal battle. This would require the Respondent, the surrogate mother, to withdraw her consent. If she doesn’t consent to relinquishing her parental rights she should be able to withdraw. Consent is not consent if you cannot change your mind. A 🧵
