Anne Klein Women's Award 2019 to Kristina Hänel, Natascha Nicklaus and Nora Szász

The 2019 Award Winners

The three German doctors Kristina Hänel, Natascha Nicklaus and Nora Szász received the Anne Klein Women's Award for their tenacious defence of women's right to information. The two gynaecologists and the general practitioner were reported for allegedly advertising abortions. This is judged to be a violation of §219a of the Criminal Code in Germany. All three refuse to remove the information about their medical services from their websites. They are engaged in a legal and public battle for women's free right to information and for the abolition of §219a StGB, which could be taken all the way to the Federal Constitutional Court.
