Women across the nation are struggling with access to quality comprehensive reproductive health services. The women hit hardest are the ones who can least afford it, particularly poor and homeless women, young women and women of color. But solutions are coming–as women’s health issues continue to become more integrated into the overall social justice conversation. Eveline Shen from Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice speaks about the reproductive justice movement, and we’ll hear about community-based work in San Francisco, Denver and New Orleans.
This program is made possible in part by The Reproductive Justice Fund at the Tides Foundation.
Featuring:
Eveline Shen, Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice executive director.
