About
Mission
Reproductive Autonomy provides reliable, trustworthy information to enable all people* to make informed reproductive decisions for themselves and to advocate for and support others in their reproductive decisions.
*especially women, transgender individuals, and non-binary persons
A world in which all people are free to make and advocate for their own reproductive decisions.
Vision
History
Reproductive Autonomy was created in 2022 by Rebecca Justus, Justus Advising & Coaching, who gathered and reviewed all of the resources. Rebecca currently updates the list of resources on a bi-weekly basis.
These resources focus mainly on the United States. While there are many useful reproductive-centered sources globally, due to the limited capacity of the Reproductive Autonomy team they are not currently included. Hopefully there will be capacity to include them in the future!
Initial support for the website’s creation was provided by Tory Graf, Trillium Creative Solutions; Samantha Karlin, Empower Global; and Emily Roe, Female Rage Hot Sauce.
Speaking Engagements
Reproductive Autonomy’s creator, Rebecca Justus, has worked internationally on reproductive health and human rights for over a decade. Previous organizations she has worked with include Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings, the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, EngenderHealth, and Tostan International. Rebecca has also volunteered with organizations such as DC Birth Doulas, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Planned Parenthood.
Rebecca holds an MA in Human Rights from the University of Sussex and completed her thesis on Reproductive justice during a pandemic: how COVID-19 revealed and exacerbated existing barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare in the U.S. She also holds a BA in International Relations from Boston University.
Originally from the United States, Rebecca has traveled to over 60 countries and has lived in Albania, Australia, Côte d’Ivoire, France, Italy, New Zealand, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. She speaks proficient French, conversational Italian, and basic Spanish.
