Mrs. Guessous is Holder of Averroès Chair on Mediterranean Islam 2019-2020- Institut Méditerranée des Recherches avancées of the University Aix - Marseille (IMéRA/A*Midex-AMU). The international meeting on "Procreation, women's rights, bioethics and religions: Comparative approach" will be organized in partnership with Aix-Marseille Université, La Fondation d’Islam de France, Les Rencontres d’Averroès and A*Midex. From the perspective of various international experiences, this event will focus on the development of technologies of assisted procreation and the new issues that may arise from them, mainly bioethics in various socio-cultural contexts. These new technologies are considered to place women at the center of risks related to sexuality, parenthood and parentage. It also affects issues related to the essence of the individual, family and social life. Experts and specialists in this field from France, Canada, Tunisia, Turkey, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iran, etc. will take part in this event. The Averroès Chair was established on the initiative of Mr. Thierry Fabre within the framework of the Mediterranean Program (IMéRA). It aims at providing an open space for critical thought in contemporary Islam and to explore new areas of thought, by hosting international researchers and experts.
