The podcast episodes discuss the history and ongoing impacts of forced sterilization programs, particularly those targeting marginalized groups such as racial minorities, the disabled, and the poor.

The episodes highlight landmark legal rulings like the Japan Supreme Court decision allowing compensation for victims, as well as the larger context of the eugenics movement and its ties to racist and ableist ideologies.

The episodes also examine how forced sterilization intersects with broader issues of reproductive justice, bodily autonomy, and the abuse of medical authority.
