The Right Kind of Family
In episode 3 of The Right Kind of Family, we travel to Italy, a country which has become a model for how it has been limiting access to abortion for women in subtle ways.
In fact, the country ruled by Giorgia Meloni's Brother of Italy, represents a playbook for how it is possible to curtail abortions in a context where the Law formally provides free access to it.
Starting from Naples, through Rome and reaching the northwestern city of Turin, the reporters uncover how the anti-abortion playbook unfolds and impacts women's lives.

In episode 2 of The Right Kind of Family, our reporters travel to Hungary, a country ruled by Viktor Orban's Fidezs party since 2010.
This relatively small central European country has surged to the role of ideological cornerstone for the Political Network for Values and its members.
In particular, our reporters focus on one specific dimension of the policies enacted by the Orban over the past decade: family policies as a tool to stop population decline.
The Hungarian government produly defines its country as a family-friendly land. But what exactly are the famed policies of the Hungarian government, and how do they affect Hungarian households and women? What do Hungarians think about them, and ultimately, are they effective in halting population decline?
