# My Body, My Book Club

> A book club focused on bodily autonomy, connecting communities through fiction, expert conversations, and charity partnerships.

## About

My Body, My Book Club reads fiction books that deal with different aspects of bodily autonomy — gender-based violence, racism, displacement, abortion, obstetric violence, and the rights of marginalised communities. Each session partners with a charity working on the topic, and an expert guest joins the discussion. All ticket proceeds are donated to the featured charity.
