Dossier: Reproductive justice: inequalities, discriminations, and violence

Reproductive justice is a concept originally formulated by transnational black and feminist activists and intellectuals and refers to the rights of individuals, especially women, sexual and gender minorities, racialized individuals, those of low socioeconomic status, and/or individuals with disabilities, to make decisions regarding having or not having children and raising them safely. Reproductive justice allows for the unveiling of various manifestations of inequalities, discriminations, and violence (material, symbolic, and institutional) that affect the experiences of individuals who become pregnant, who become mothers, or who have abortions, as well as their projects for dignified lives and reproductive decisions, including issues related to parenthood and child care. It is a call for the expansion of forms of recognition of the right to health, equality, and maternal safety beyond its individual dimension, addressing structural, social, and economic aspects.

The proposal seeks to gather articles that address intersectionally:

1. The socio-juridical recognition of new family and conjugal structures, such as coparenting, multiparenting, and polyamorous relationships.

2.Inconsistencies in laws, public policies, and jurisprudence and the insufficient treatment of the intersectionality of social markers.

3;New knowledge and practices concerning reproduction to overcome discriminatory policies (especially regarding race, gender, sexuality, and disability) in national and international legal frameworks.

4.The application of gender-perspective judging protocols in matters related to reproductive justice.

5.The elucidation of anti-racist protection policies against various forms of gender-based violence, such as maternal mortality, obstetric violence, and other topics related to reproductive justice.
