Fighting for Reproductive Justice

Since its inception, NAWL has been fighting for women’s reproductive justice.  However, the gains made in this area are increasingly under attack. For that reason, reproductive justice remains a key focal point of NAWL’s work.

While reproductive justice encompasses equal access to safe abortions for women and individuals who can become pregnant, it goes much further than that. A reproductive justice-based approach to advocacy means working to ensure that the autonomy, safety, and self-determination of women are prioritized via a spectrum of supports, from abortion services to free contraception, robust sexual education, and access to inclusive health services.

Women cannot achieve substantive equality without reproductive justice. For that reason, NAWL will continue to ensure that reproductive justice remains at the forefront of our law reform agenda.
