reproductivejustice
Dictionary meaning
a human rights framework, developed in the 1990s by Black women activists including the SisterSong collective, that combines reproductive rights with social justice; asserts three core rights — the right not to have children, the right to have children, and the right to parent children in safe and supportive environments; goes beyond the narrower pro-choice framing to address the structural conditions of poverty, racism, and state coercion that constrain reproductive autonomy for marginalised communities
