Call For Papers
Reproductive Health is excited to launch a call for submissions on reproductive justice that explores a vital approach to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Canada.
Please read more about the new thematic series here, with the following commentary led by our Editor in Chief, Dr. Sanni Yaya.
Reproductive justice, an intersectional framework that includes social justice and human rights, was founded in the 1990s, by a grass-roots organization led by women of color in the United States. Reproductive Health would like to invite submissions exploring reproductive justice to better understand the interlinks between structural racism and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among Indigenous and racialized communities in Canada. These intersectional frameworks warrant more attention among researchers, governments, funders, and advocates working in this space.
Submissions can be commentary, review, or research (i.e., case studies, programs, interventions, studies investigating or reporting methods and results of an original study). Topics of interest include SRHR in Canada, systemic racism in SRHR, contraception, abortion, family planning, medical bias, health systems, health policy, health promotion, the impact of racism on SRHR in Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), the role of gendered racism in sexual and reproductive health disparities among BIPOC women, etc.
The new section is being led by co-Editor in Chief, Dr. Sanni Yaya. We encourage you to submit!
New Journal Section
Reproductive Health Ushers In New Journal Section Covering Elderly reproductive health
Aging will have a major impact on health and social policies and the elderly people (men and women) will likely be among the policy-making priorities in the few next decades. However, sexual and reproductive health and rights in older adults remain a “taboo” among individuals, health professionals, researchers and the issue represents a “blind spot” in the policy architecture. All this while there are large and growing inequalities in healthy aging. This subcategory of the journal welcomes submissions that would help better understand the needs and issues related to the reproductive health of this age group passing the reproductive period.
