Our Founder, Helen Gibson, on BBC Radio 4

On Friday 7 February 2025, our Founder Helen Gibson, was interviewed by the BBC journalist Adam Fleming, for the Radio 4 programme ‘AntiSocial’, which looks at topical current affairs issues. Helen discussed how surrogacy in the UK works, our opposition to it, and our concerns about Law Commission plans to relax the law. We are glad to see surrogacy moving up the news agenda, and more people openly discussing the possibility of a ban on the practice, which we support. Following news about a well known celebrity having a child with a surrogate mother last weekend, surrogacy has dominated the news cycle for the past week.

Also appearing on the programme was renowned Guardian journalist and feminist writer, Susanna Rustin. The programme was repeated on Wednesday 12 February at 8pm on BBC Radio 4, or you can listen again here on BBC Sounds.



About

We are a group of women and men in the UK, who have come together to oppose liberalisation of the law on surrogacy and to raise awareness of the surrogacy industry; we also oppose egg harvesting for the purposes of egg donation, and payments for egg donors. We do not believe it is right to separate mothers and their children, nor do we believe the law should be relaxed to make surrogacy easier in Britain.

Our founder and volunteers hail from left wing backgrounds; we campaign against surrogacy from a feminist perspective, which fundamentally centres the right of children to remain with their mothers, and against the commodification of women’s bodies and the commercialization of pregnancy. All are welcome to join us in our fight.
