Short summary

The article explores the reproductive experiences in Swiss federal asylum camps, arguing that these camps function as carceral spaces that severely impact women's reproductive lives through logics of fragmentation. Combining insights from carceral geography and studies on reproductive health, the authors argue for the abolition of asylum camps and the creation of alternative housing and care models that centre women's needs.
