A holistic approach to women’s health:

Using data and information to enhance policies and

services for women and families

Justice Lens, EMERJ* Training Curriculum http://forwardtogether.org/assets/docs/ACRJ-Three-

Applications-of-the-RJ-Lens.pdf

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.
