Abstract: (588 Views)
The film "No Choice" connects three women from different social and cultural classes together through the narrative. "Golbahar" cannot get pregnant, so she meets a lawyer named "Sara." On the way to find answers, Sara approaches "Dr. Pendar" and finds out that she performed a tubectomy without the consent and knowledge of her client. Tubal ligation (also called female sterilization or "getting your tubes tied") is a safe and effective method for permanent fertility control. However, Tubal Ligation should have appropriate clinical standards with the individual's free and informed consent. However, certain groups, such as people with HIV, people with disabilities, ethnic and sexual minorities, or the poor population, may be subjected to sterilization without consent and knowledge. In contrast, both men and women experience exposure to such practices. Women are more affected by it, and coercive practices such as illegal sterilization ignore women's rights to their physical autonomy. The movie's narrative focuses on the right to self-determination and the right to the patient's physical autonomy. On the other hand, the expediency of GolBahar's situation, factoring mental and physical abuse, is explored. "No Choice" tells the story of three women striving for their rights. The story confronts expediency and how each woman perceives what is to be correct. This research data is collected through library sources and analyzed by descriptive-analytical method.
