Wednesday, November 10, 2010: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Oral
This session addresses various aspects of reproductive justice, including HIV prevention and post-test support as well as perceptions of the Title X family planning program. The panel will include a discussion of strategies to address challenges which deny women reproductive rights. Such strategies include workshops for paraprofessionals, targeting women in poor settings, and efforts to expand legal services.
Session Objectives: 1. Discuss why a lack of reproductive justice is a violation of women's rights. 2. Name reasons why reproductive justice is not considered when policies on women's health are crafted. 3. Describe the importance of educating health care professionals about reproductive justice.
