The Congress scientific committee was supposed to comprise renowned gynaecology professors and was to collaborate with the University Department of Gynaecology. Various health professionals were to participate, as well as journalists, mayors, cabinet ministers, and Orthodox patriarchs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality there existed many loopholes in the regulations concerning medically assisted reproduction. Many Greek and foreign women (couples, singles, lesbians, gays, et al.) had and have access to it, if they can afford it. What could have appeared, as a possibility for a woman to gain access to motherhood when and if she wants it, was appropriated by a conservative and religious political discourse buttressed by the support of scientific discourse. The right of women to be mothers&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;or not&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;was thus reduced to an obligation to become a mother.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement of this congress received a lot of media attention, but a protest movement denouncing the underlying ideology quickly spread via social media. Some of the announced participants withdrew, sponsors abandoned the event, and the President of the Greek Republic withdrew her support&#8230; To the point that the congress was finally cancelled. Despite which, the temptation persists among those who initiated the congress to demonstrate that&nbsp;<em>The woman exists<\/em>&nbsp;and that she is a mother!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.athensvoice.gr\/greece\/717790_salos-me-sexistiko-vinteo-se-synedrio-ypogonimotitas-vinteo\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Et c\u2019est une m\u00e8re<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;Tu as 41 ans et tu n\u2019es pas encore devenu m\u00e8re&nbsp;\u00bb, dit la voix off avant qu\u2019une femme ne demande face cam\u00e9ra et d\u2019un air d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9&nbsp;:&nbsp;\u00ab&nbsp;Qu\u2019ai-je donc fait comme faute&nbsp;?&nbsp;\u00bb&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La vid\u00e9o annonce, dans les m\u00e9dias, le&nbsp;\u00ab&nbsp;Premier congr\u00e8s national grec&nbsp;de&nbsp;fertilit\u00e9&nbsp;et d\u2019autonomie reproductive (sic)&nbsp;\u00bb&nbsp;organis\u00e9&nbsp;sous l\u2019\u00e9gide de la pr\u00e9sidence de la R\u00e9publique grecque.
