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 />
