WHO IS SISTERSONG?<br />

<strong>SisterSong</strong> is a national organization of<br />

Indigenous women and women of color and<br />

allied organizations and individuals working for<br />

Reproductive Justice. Our core principles are<br />

threefold: We believe that every woman has the<br />

human right to choose if and when she will have<br />

a baby, and the conditions under which she will<br />

give birth; the human right to decide if she will<br />

not have a baby and her options for preventing<br />

or ending a pregnancy; and, the human right<br />

to parent the children she already has with<br />

the necessary social supports to do so in safe<br />

and healthy environments. Through support,<br />

mentoring, and advocacy we raise the voices<br />

of women of color affected by human rights<br />

violations on the national, state, and local levels.<br />

In <strong>SisterSong</strong>, we sing <strong>our</strong> individual songs in<br />

harmony because we are stronger together.<br />

WHAT IS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE?<br />

The term Reproductive Justice was coined by<br />

a group of African American women in 1994<br />

by combining two terms: reproductive rights<br />

and social justice to apply intersectionality and<br />

human rights to reproductive health issues. In<br />

further developing this human rights-based<br />

framework, Asian Communities for Reproductive<br />

Justice defined Reproductive Justice as the<br />

complete physical, mental, spiritual, political,<br />

economic, and social well-being of women and<br />

girls. Reproductive Justice will be achieved when<br />

women and girls have the economic, social and<br />

political power and res<strong>our</strong>ces to make healthy<br />

decisions about <strong>our</strong> bodies, sexuality, and<br />

reproduction for <strong>our</strong>selves, <strong>our</strong> families and <strong>our</strong><br />

communities in all areas of <strong>our</strong> lives. For this to<br />

become reality, we need to make changes on the<br />

individual, family, community, public, and private<br />

institutional levels to end all forms of oppression.<br />
