Consultation by the Commission on the proposed directive aiming to safeguard workers from cancer-causing hazards in the workplace.
Professor Liane Worner, a distinguished scholar at the University of Konstanz, has been elected as the chair of the "Reproductive Justice" commission established by the German Association of Female Lawyers on September 13, 2025.
The commission, which operates on a voluntary basis, aims to address key topics such as the reform of abortion laws, egg donation, surrogacy, equal access to reproductive support, family law issues, and legal measures to support care arrangements. In addition, the commission will consider ethics, sociology, and psychology in their work.
Prof. Dr. Worner's expertise spans across various legal fields, including criminal law, constitutional law, social law, health law, family and inheritance law, and pharmaceutical law. She has previously led the "Commission on Reproductive Self-Determination and Reproductive Medicine" convened by the former federal government in March 2023.
In April 2024, Prof. Dr. Worner led the working group 1 (topic area abortion) that submitted recommendations for a legal reform of abortion to the federal government. She is also the director of the Centre for Human | Data | Society at the University of Konstanz.
The commission's focus extends beyond just reproductive medicine, addressing legal questions related to self-determined family planning and procreation. Unfortunately, many affected individuals in Germany are currently discriminated against, with access to self-determined reproduction being restricted.
Prof. Dr. Worner commented that the term 'Reproductive Justice' encompasses all legal foundations and issues that deal with reproductive freedom and control. The document related to this news is titled "PI No. 85_2025, Repro~e Justice.pdfPDF - 137 kB".
