Abstract
“Femtech” is a fancy word that refers to digital products and services aimed to cope with women’s health concerns and other issues that specifically re-gard women. Originally, femtech was created with the clear purpose of giving wom-en a voice in the digital market, as they have traditionally been a silent audience as-sisting tech developments. However, along the line femtech became exactly the op-posite: a mechanism for law enforcement authorities to build legal cases against women and for other public entities and private invade women’s privacy. More radi-cal criticism goes as far as arguing that femtech is a tool of oppression.
