A holistic approach to women’s health:
Using data and information to enhance policies and
services for women and families

Toxic facilities like power plants and oil refineries
are mostly located in poor communities of color,
which expose women to reproductive toxins linked
to infertility, miscarriage, infant mortality, and
breast cancer.
The increase in criminalization of pregnant women
who use substances in the name of “fetal rights”
disproportionately targets poor women of color,
who are being incarcerated at extremely high rates
rather than receiving treatment.
Forced sterilization of poor women, women of
color and women with disabilities, and coercing
women to use dangerous, long-term, provider-
controlled contraceptives such as Depo-Provera.
RJ exists when all
people have the social,
political and economic
power and resources to
make healthy decisions
about our gender, bodies
and sexuality for our
selves, our families and
our communities.

Framework
Health, Rights
and Justice
Health – a service delivery model centered around
increasing access to reproductive health care;
Rights – a legal & policy model centered around
choice and privacy; and
Justice – an organizing and leadership
development model centered around the
understanding that reproductive oppression is a
result of intersecting oppression based on race,
class, immigration status, ability, etc. and is a way
to control entire communities.
The best way to
understand reproductive
justice is to look at its
core aspects, which
helps us understand not
only the way we think
about the issues our
communities face, but
also the way we take
action around them.
