Reproductive Justice, a never ending fight!

I have always had the passion to help others, specially the Latino community as I can relate to many of the stories I hear from these families. After exploring more about reproductive justice I have a better understanding of what it means. I have concluded that reproductive justice is the fight for women to be able to access their reproductive rights, and that economic status, immigration status, sexual orientation, environment, discrimination and disabilities should not prevent women from these rights. I believe that although many women in history have accomplished many great things in history for the benefit of women, reproductive justice will be a never ending fight as new issues are constantly arising for women.

I still want to do more research on the type of work that different non-profit organizations are doing to fight for reproductive justice. I feel that this is an area that I will like to focus my career on so I will want to get involve with an organization and get familiar with the work different communities are doing for women. I am still thinking about how the current laws are affecting women of color specifically. I wonder if the immigration reform, that I am hoping will be ready soon, will incorporate the quick access to public health care. However, I am concern about the requirements to apply for the immigration reform as many Latino women might have a hard time providing proof of the work they have been doing such as day care services at home or cleaning homes. I believe that labor is a very important part of reproductive justice as many women are the head of their household. I now think that the main objective of reproductive justice is for women to be able to focus on their bodies, sexuality, labor and reproduction.
