Reproductive Justice Definition

What does Reproductive Justice mean? Reproductive Justice sheds light on how race, gender, class, sexuality and institutions work together to either uplift or oppress a woman’s ability with reproductive life decision making. By using a justice framework we acknowledge and make known that racial, gender and class oppression cannot be viewed as single or separate entities or incidents but must be considered together as multi-layered contributors to our personal and community health.
