- Summary:
- "Ventre livre paints a grim picture of reproductive rights for millions of women in Brazil today. One in every four women of child-bearing age has been sterilized, often in her teens. And, with no access to other forms of contraception, over two million women resort to illegal abortions every year, leading to an estimated 50,000 deaths. Ventre livre intercuts moving interviews with a range of different women describing their own experiences with statistics on the poor state of healthcare for women."--www.wmm.com.
