Reproductive Justice and Maternal and Infant Health Inequities in the US South 
Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM  
Dr. Dovile Vilda, Assistant Professor, Department of Social Behavioral and Population Sciences  
Reproductive injustice in the US South manifests through various systemic inequities that disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Drawing on a reproductive justice framework which acknowledges the complex, intersectional social realities by which structural oppression influences reproductive health, this talk will review recent research conducted at the Mary Amelia Center for Women’s Health Equity Research. By focusing on systemic, policy-level, and healthcare factors, the presentation will underscore the critical role of research evidence in addressing structural inequalities denying individuals the right to equitable reproductive health care and outcomes.
