Sisters In Control


Reproductive Justice, at its most basic, is a woman’s right to control her own body. But this right involves so much more than the freedom to have (or not to have) children. Reproductive Justice includes access to equitable reproductive health services, including access to pap tests and pre-natal care, access to comprehensive, accurate and unbiased and culturally competent reproductive health information, including information about contraception, family planning and sexually transmitted diseases, and the freedom to exercise these rights regardless of who you are or how much money you have. Reproductive Justice will not be achieved until women and girls have the physical, mental, political, economic and social well-being and resources to make healthy decisions about their own bodies, sexuality and reproduction.

Sisters in Control has several programs that operate underneath this umbrella including:

STD/HIV education

Green Chemistry/Environmental Health

Annual BWW Conference

Original Research

Publications and Policy briefing
