Hands on reproductive justice

This week my Introduction to Women's Studies class was discussing reproductive justice and healthcare. To get students thinking about the ways in which reproductive justice can be more inclusive, I decided to try a hands-on activity. I distributed a plethora of various reproductive health brochures, some of which were more inclusive than others. I had students look over the pamphlets in groups, and try to answer some overarching questions:
  • Who is this pamphlet marketed toward? What does this targeted marketing tell us about who these services are for? 
  • Who would feel that this pamphlet is speaking to them? Who would feel excluded? 


The overarching consensus was that many of these pamphlets assumed the reader was a cisgendered heterosexual, and this sparked a heated discussion about the potential implications.
