The story of Laura: reimagining motherhood after a hysterectomy

Laura is a radiant 36-year old woman living in the Marche region of Italy. A few years ago, she had to undergo a hysterectomy to remove a cervical tumour.

That surgery forever changed her life, making it impossible for her to have children.

This experience pushed Laura to rethink the concept of motherhood and what it means being denied that experience.
