3/20 Reproductive Justice: The Intersection of Health, Rights, and Social Justice
Reproductive Justice: The Intersection of Health, Rights, and Social Justice
Wednesday, March 20th, 202406:30 PM Student UnionReproductive justice is a feminist framework, developed by women of color, that center’s the needs of the most marginalized and affirms our human right to bodily autonomy and to live healthy lives with access to the necessary physical, mental, political, economic, social, and sexual resources for the well-being of all people. The three core values of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to parent a child or children in safe and healthy environments.
This discussion will examine and highlight the disparities in care, access, and how it affects Black maternal health and mortality rates. Attendees will also understand the reproductive justice framework, learn about access and advocacy in Connecticut, and the barriers students have in accessing care.

Join us at the Women’s Center for a Watch Party!
This panel is sponsored by the Women’s Center and the UConn Foundation as part of the #ThisIsAmerica series.
