Launch: 8 July, 5pm–7pm The exhibition explores the role of place and community in Reproductive (in)Justice and encourages us to think about how local communities can advance Reproductive Justice and advocate for change. This exhibition includes photographs taken, captioned, and curated by members of ReproNorth, including people with lived experience of health and social inequity and representatives from local community organisations serving women with complex needs and people who are claiming asylum or have refugee status.
What is Reproductive Justice?
Reproductive Justice is centred on the core rights to: (1) control our bodies and our futures (bodily autonomy); (2) not have a child; (3) have a child; (4) parent children with dignity in safe and healthy environments. Reproductive Justice helps us consider how structural factors (such as our political systems and everyday social environments) limit reproductive ‘choices.’ While everyone has the same rights in principle, not everyone has the same choices in practice.
What is ReproNorth?
ReproNorth is a network of academic, community organisation, and lived experience partners with a shared commitment to highlight and respond to health and social inequities that compromise Reproductive Justice in the North of England.
