Screening of 'Pill & I' followed by discussion on emergency contraceptives> **
For years, the rampant promotion and distribution of hormonal contraceptives by the government have been an issue of concern. Today, the scenario has been compounded by the aggressive marketing of a range of emergency contraception pills. I-Pill. U-72. XPL 7. Pill 72. The market is flooded and apparently the pills are doing ‘very good business’. But what are they? Who are they suitable for/who not? Are they a sign of women’s autonomy over their bodies or a long step back in the struggle for equal responsibility among men and women having sex, within and outside marriage? And why is the Ministry of Health aiming to ensure that all women have “a supply of emergency contraceptive pills in advance.” To discuss all this and maybe even figure some strategies on how to respond to the situation, we invite you to the premiere screening of the documentary film, *Pill & I* by: Diksha Grover, Naam Chakrovorty, Nikita Balasubramanian, Sabika Muzaffar, Shruti Chakroborty, Vrishnika Singh *When: 26th January 2010 at 4 pm* *Where: Saheli office, *Above Shop Nos. 105-108, Defence Colony Flyover, New Delhi 110024 *Synopsis: **The film ponders over issues of women’s sexual health and how despite the omnipresence of oral emergency contraceptive pill advertisements, there is lack of awareness about when to consume the pill, contraindications, regimen, side effects and other possible implications. Through candid confessions by users and implications of abuse debated by professionals, the film questions each player’s accountability: the individual, the corporate and the state.* We are delighted that the filmmakers will be joining us for the event. So, hope to see you there. Pl also forward to anyone you think may be interested.
