About the Presentation

Ms. Fani Nikiforaki will take us behind the scenes of a Loeb Award–winning Bloomberg investigation into the $35 billion global human egg trade: a year-long, cross-continental effort spanning reporters in 11 countries. The investigation exposed an opaque, largely unregulated fertility industry by following supply chains from egg donors in India and Argentina to clinics in Greece and the United States, drawing on shipping records, interviews with trafficked donors, and police investigations.
