SisterSong defines Reproductive Justice as "the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities." The term was coined in 1994 by a network of Black women in Chicago, USA, before the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. These women felt that the women’s rights movement at the time was largely white, middle class and did not represent intersectional identities or social-economic factors such as race, class or wealth. The homogeneity of the movement was a key obstacle to reproductive freedom for people of colour and other marginalized groups. We all know that Black women and women of colour have always been on the frontline fighting for reproductive justice. This is partly a result of the fact that Black women in the United States are more likely to die during childbirth than any other race, as well as the fact that globally, Indigenous women and girls are significantly more likely to be victims of sexual violence than non-Indigenous women and girls. But it’s only now that large organizations are realising and willing to speak about sexual and reproductive health not as a choice for the privileged, but as a freedom and a human right linked to social justice for all.
