PI responded to a call for evidence from the UK Westminster Women and Equalities Committee on women’s reproductive health.
Key advocacy points
- Technology and digital tools have the potential to provide information and offer women and girls a way of making informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
- The proliferation of digital technologies within women’s reproductive healthcare must not exacerbate nor create new threats to individuals’ privacy.
- We encourage the Committee to consider the expanding use of FemTech and the consequences it may have on women’s privacy, in particular for those in vulnerable situations.
Advocacy
Post date

In August 2023, the UK Westminster Women and Equalities Committee launched a call for evidence into a short inquiry on women’s reproductive health.
We submitted a response highlighting the increasing management of women’s reproductive healthcare through digital health initiatives. We raised concerns that these technologies can be privacy-invasive and result in highly sensitive personal information being shared in unexpected and potentially dangerous ways. We encouraged the Committee to ensure the proliferation of digital technologies within women’s reproductive healthcare must not exacerbate nor create new threats to individuals’ privacy.
