Women's experiences of reproductive justice differ according to socioeconomics. It is related to domestic violence, sexual harassment, the gendered pay gap, the murders of gendered environmental land defenders and Indigenous water protectors in rural areas. Those most harmed by the criminalization of individual autonomy over pregnancy are all people with the capacity to gestate with the fewest economic resources. Reproductive health care is inseparable from the demand for a guaranteed public health system, which includes contraception and comprehensive sexual education, allowing for more inclusive sexual expressions, and relationships. Bodies shoould not, cannot, be policed as private property.
In this post, see a collection of the work IRTF has done over the years in defense of reproductive justice.
