Resources for Taking Action For Equity

Reproductive justice is achieved when the health care, regulatory, and physical environment ensures equitable access to respectful, inclusive, and rights-based health services, from pre-conception through parenting. It is essential that care accounts for and is responsive to each person’s preferences, and lived realities of identity, community, housing, food, environment, mental and emotional health, and resources, including needs for information and services. Such an environment preserves and honors a person’s bodily autonomy and safety, including the rights to decide if, when, how, where, and with whom to experience pregnancy and/or childbirth and parenting.
