In collaboration with Tufts SACNAS, Micro DEI present a screening of La Operación (The Operation).
This 40-minute documentary details the mass sterilization of Puerto Rican women during the 1950s and 1960s led by the United States to control the population of Puerto Ricans on the island and mentions the roles of Puerto Rican women in the development of the contraceptive pill. This documentary will serve as a reflection on how we, as a society, have progressed from such medical practices and how far we have progressed on women's rights.
November 19th celebrates the official discovery of Puerto Rico by Columbus, thus it's a great day to embrace Puerto Rican heritage as well as shed light on what has been the past relationship between the US and Puerto Rico.
We will provide catering from Vejigantes (a local Puerto Rican restaurant). Registration is required so we can plan the right amount of food.
