Definitions
Reproductive Justice (RJ) is when all people and communities have the economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about our bodies, sexuality, and reproduction. This includes the right to have children, not have children, and to parent the children we have in safe and healthy environments. To honor the history of the reproductive movement and the realities of reproductive oppression, organizations at the forefront of the reproductive justice movement must be led by women of color and low-income communities. This definition has been adapted from Forward Together (an RJ organization based in Oakland, CA) and SisterSong (an RJ organization based in Atlanta, GA).
Reproductive Oppression is the regulation of reproduction and exploitation of people’s bodies and labor based on race, sex, sexual orientation, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age and immigration status. This definition has been adapted from Forward Together.
