Reproductive justice (black feminist studies) is a theoretical framework and social movement originating within and central to Black feminist thought, which analyzes and advocates for the complete physical, mental, spiritual, political, social, and economic well-being of women and girls. Distinct from a singular focus on reproductive rights or access to services like abortion, this concept emphasizes the intersectional nature of oppression, examining how race, class, gender, and other systems of power converge to shape the reproductive experiences and capabilities of Black women and marginalized communities. It asserts the fundamental right to have children, the right to not have children, and the right to parent the children one has in safe, healthy, and sustainable communities. Within Black feminist studies, reproductive justice highlights the unique historical and contemporary reproductive oppressions faced by Black women, including forced sterilization, medical racism, environmental hazards, economic inequality, and state surveillance, positioning these issues as integral to achieving true reproductive autonomy and social justice.
