- Abstract
Your legal right to an abortion; the freedom to raise the family you want and parent the children you want; being safe inside your home; being safe outside of itJeach of these struggles is about autonomy, self-determination and individual and community health. These issues are connected, but often the movements that focus on them are not. In this piece I consider the historical, political and cultural connections between reproductive justice and anti-violence organizing. While there divergences in each movement's trajectory, there can be great value in naming the connections. In this piece I examine the connections between the areans of women's human rights advocacy and make the case for looking at them as deeply connected issues in the fight for gender equality and justice.
