"Surrogacy is not liberty. It is a crime. Women will not settle for junk liberty. We want real freedom - the substance, not just the appearance. We want real nourishment for our spirits. We want human dignity. We want it for all of us. We want it for women in Thailand and Bangladesh and Mexico as well as for the women who have not yet been born." -- Gena Corea.

"Surrogacy is not liberty. It is a crime. Women will not settle for junk liberty. We want real freedom - the substance, not just the appearance. We want real nourishment for our spirits. We want human dignity. We want it for all of us. We want it for women in Thailand and Bangladesh and Mexico as well as for the women who have not yet been born." -- Gena Corea. In this eloquent and blistering rejection of surrogacy, a range of international activists and experts in the field outline the fundamental human rights abuses that occur when surrogacy is legalised and reject neoliberal notions that the commodification of women's bodies can ever be about the 'choices' women make. Yoshie Yanagihara shows how feminist ideas have been twisted to extend men's freedom and their rights to access surrogacy. Catherine Lynch rails against surrogacy as the creation of babies for the express purpose of removal from their mothers, outlining the tragic outcomes for adopted people. Phyllis Chesler argues that commercial surrogacy is matricidal, "slicing and dicing biological motherhood" into egg donor, 'gestational' mother and adoptive mother. Melissa Farley debunks the myth of 'choice' in surrogacy, arguing that in a male-dominated and racist system, the exploitative sale of women in surrogacy, like in prostitution, is inherently harmful --rich women do not make the choice to become surrogates or prostitutes. "Harm cannot be regulated, because this would mean spreading and universalising it. - Silvia Guerini"" -- from publisher's website.

From 1992 onwards, she was involved in the organisation of the international lesbian-only festival 'Quand les lesbiennes se font du cinéma' in Paris, then in the setting up of cultural and festive events to emphasise the position of lesbians in the LGBT Pride March, as well as in the creation of a solidarity fund to act against lesbophobic violence and finally, in 2013, in the organisation of the EuroLESBOPride in Marseille. Ana-Luana Stoicea-Deram teaches social policy at the Institut de Recherche et de Formation à l'action sociale de l'Essonne (France). Previously, she taught at the University of Bucharest, the University of Paris XII, and the Institute of European Studies (Paris). In 2016, she coordinated the issue 'What is Surrogacy for (East)-European Feminism?' of the Analize Journal of Gender and Feminist Studies. In 2021, Revue des deux mondes published her article 'GPA. Une violence invisibilisée qui affaiblit les droits des femmes.' She also contributed to the book Les marchés de la maternité.
