Behind the deck, a wooden boardwalk went on for miles, followed by a dreamy expanse of beach that cuddled the sapphire ocean as far as the eye could see.
To the right of the entrance, the slick white floor tile led to the official conference ballroom that would serve as the site for the plenaries for SisterSong Women ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
At the time, SisterSong was—and to some extent still is—the group most associated with the phrase “reproductive justice” (RJ) and its basic definition: the right to not have children, the right to have children, and the right to parent.2 Thus, SisterSong gatherings attracted an array of participants experienced in orga... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Throughout the following days, hundreds of conference attendees— women, men, and gender- nonbinary people— would pass through that lobby.
They would wear everything from African dashikis to peasant blouses to skin- tight leather, with shoes ranging from Converse sneak- ers to high heels.

Laughter, yelps, and multiple languages filled the air through- out the day.
Some lived in Miami whereas others had traveled across the globe for the momentous event.
This was the first LTAS conference since 2007, and since the election of President Obama. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
The 2011 theme was “Love, Legislation, Leadership.” The organizers chose the beach location purposefully: “We intention- ally planned this weekend as a ‘destination conference’ because we know how much Reproductive Justice activists work.
It is non- stop and often we do not allow time to take care of ourselves.”3 The ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
The conference coordinators welcomed us, followed by a city commissioner who awkwardly encouraged us to talk about sex “but not on the boardwalk,” reminding us of the appropriate social norms.
Dur- ing the opening plenary, SisterSong’s national coordinator, Loretta Ross, welcomed everyone. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
LTAS 2011 was an even more special conference than most, as Ross announced that she was retiring after over a decade with the collective; Laura Jiménez, the long- time deputy coordinator, would leave SisterSong to direct California Latinas for Reproductive Justice; and Heidi Williamson, the policy coordinator, was leav... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Preconference institutes had already included SisterSong staff presenting RJ101 and RJ102, Hampshire College’s Civil Liberties and Public Policy Institute for young leaders of color, a Queer People of Color and Indigenous Peo- ple (QPOC) institute hosted by SisterSong’s QPOC mini- community, and another on White women ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Brown Girl Burlesque (BGB) performed one evening, which garnered some controversy.
When the idea of BGB performing had been raised earlier in the year, the idea received both support and opposition from key people in SisterSong, who held different views on the place of the erotic in women of color’s self- expression. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
To bring the conversation to a larger set of people, SisterSong had hosted a public conference call a few months prior in which the focus was the politics of sex work.4 At LTAS, the BGB performance was highly promoted, as was BGB’s preceding conference workshop.
The workshop offered an opportunity to meet the .

These few days were ones of joyous community as the reproductive justice movement subtly modeled the goal: to make life always feel like this.

We understood that this was what it could feel like if SisterSong realized its mission: “to amplify and strengthen the collective voices of Indigenous women and women of color to ensure reproductive justice through se- curing human rights.”5 In this book I explore in more depth what this mission meant. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
When defining the US reproductive justice movement, various activists and scholars note that reproductive justice is “human rights– based.” In many scholarly and activist accounts, the phrases “human rights” and “repro- ductive justice” are continually linked, as if there was an inevitability to the way the RJ movement... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Reproductive Rights as Human Rights highlights an underexamined mobilization strategy within the US context and reveals both the promise and the problems associated with a human rights approach.
Furthermore, given SisterSong’s status as a coalition led by and focused on women of color and their reproductive rights, th... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |

Throughout the book, I focus on human rights as norms, or ideals for treatment of other people.
The tools to reinforce these norms include laws, grassroots organizing, and institution building.

From its founding in 1997 to the time when I completed my initial data collection, SisterSong grew to be the largest and most visible orga- nizational coalition in the reproductive justice movement.
Founded as a “project” of sixteen minority- focused women’s health organizations, SisterSong held a central role in the ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Given widespread assumptions in the United States that human rights are relevant only in “international” contexts, SisterSong emphasizing human rights seemed an unlikely way to advance movement claims in the United States.
I argue that part of SisterSong’s strategy was rooted in its domesti- cation of human rights. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
I use the term “domestication” to describe the discursive process of relating international rhetoric to a domestic prob- lem, and argue that this process was conducted in two very different ways by the US government and SisterSong, respectively.
On the one hand, the government engaged in restrictive domestication of h... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
It domesti- cated human rights by relying on narratives of exceptionalism regarding human rights— in this case, a strategy of containing the definition and scope of human rights domestically, so they appear to be lacking only in other countries.

In contrast, SisterSong engaged in what I call revolutionary domestication of human rights, in which it insisted on the relevance of internationally recognized human rights in the domestic political arena of the United States, and highlighted pre- cisely the kind of social and economic factors shaping access to rights ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |

I argue that from its start, SisterSong continually linked reproductive politics and human rights, albeit inconsistently. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Framing its grievances in terms of “reproductive justice” and continually shifting the primacy of the “human rights” frame enabled SisterSong founders to proffer an analysis of structural inequality and its impact on their communities’ reproductive possibilities; unite SisterSong’s constituents’ diverse iden- tities in... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
The frame- work of human rights was radical due to being embedded in an idea that challenged the dominant US discourse— a fact SisterSong leveraged to its advantage by presenting human rights as simultaneously radical yet familiar, and better but not opposed to other popular framing options, including those of civil ri... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
It is precisely because human rights were so “radical” in the US context that SisterSong was able to claim for itself what scholars refer to as a niche, which provided an advantage for it as a social movement organization (SMO).6 However, challenges came from competing imperatives that brought women together to develop... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
This would in and of itself be a major task that was pregnant with a vision for a movement that could transform the landscape of the social movement field of reproduction, while also shifting power to the people most affected by issues around which the women’s move- ment had traditionally mobilized, such as access to a... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
This was the case because of an already unequal sys- tem of state power that was— and still is— the basis of the United States’ domestic and international policy.

That these realities— and new ones emerging such as a new international “free” trade system— were coalesc- ing as SisterSong was developing is important to keep in mind.
One of the continual tensions with SisterSong— and the broader reproductive justice movement— is that the state is implicated in the oppression of gr... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Indeed, theorists as varied as Louis Althusser and Angela Davis remind us that one of the main functions of the state is social control and oppression, whether exerted through physical force, ideology, or both.7 Yet, activists call upon the state (through its representatives) to make changes to policies in order to rem... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Thus, a ten- sion existed: if the state was responsible for upholding human rights, on which reproductive justice was to rest, then the state would hold the power to remove those human rights.
All these motivations had to be balanced, and some outweighed oth- ers over time. | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Thus, there was a continual tension between human rights as motivation versus human rights as strategy.8 Human rights discourse offers a multivocal language— in this case, the idea was simultaneously leveraged to signal, on the one hand, an idealized commitment to the “global” as one of the embodied values on which thi... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Since these different understandings existed from the early days of the collective, they remained in subtle contention in the collective’s later activities, including programming and self- definition.

The movement emerged through both discord and dialogue with different wings of the women’s movement and the racial justice movement, but cannot be reduced to a simple outgrowth of ei- ther.9 The RJ movement is larger than SisterSong, but SisterSong was for decades the only national coalition of reproductive justice org... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Furthermore, SisterSong is generally credited with popularizing the concept of “reproductive justice”; indeed, when defining the term, many people simply cite a SisterSong leader’s succinct phrasing: “(1) the right to have a child; (2) the right not to have a child; and (3) the right to parent the children we have.”10 ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |

Introduction | 7 The Atlanta- based SisterSong coalition was founded by sixteen or- ganizations representing four different ethnic/racial groups or “mini- communities”: African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Chicano/ Latino, and Indigenous/Native American.
These organizations differed in size, capacity, structure, ... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Organizational membership in the coalition has varied over the years, but at SisterSong’s peak, it boasted eighty member and allied organizations— member organizations were, ideally, women of color-focused and -led.
The coalition initially in- tended to focus on building the internal capacity of its member orga- nizat... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Given this structure, “SisterSong” can refer to the national office in Atlanta, the entirety of the member and allied organizations, or even the individual members.
Throughout the book I specify which of these I refer to since part of the book’s goal is to examine the varied levels of (dis)connection with human rights... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
Since SisterSong’s founding, it has achieved some elements of what other scholars have defined as movement success, such as expansion of membership, increased funding, and recognition by elites.
In 2003, Sister- Song held its first national conference in Atlanta, with approximately six hundred participants.

Through annual events such as conferences and smaller membership meetings, SisterSong pro- vided the largest national forum for reproductive justice activists, particu- larly racial minority women, across a range of experience levels.

SisterSong’s visibility with policymakers increased through a number of intentional efforts, for example, through strategizing with policy- oriented ally organizations.
In 2008, First Lady Michelle Obama invited two of SisterSong’s founders, Loretta Ross and Dázon Dixon Diallo, to White House discussions on healthcare... | INTL LAW | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Reproductive_Rights_As_Human_Rights_Women_of_Color....pdf | https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/londonschoolecons/detail.action?docID=6281951 |
SisterSong’s advocacy ef- forts in other realms have also received coverage in outlets such as the New York Times, the Laura Ingraham Show, and National Public Radio.

Rather, the book focuses on a specific strategy adopted by SisterSong and since integrated so thoroughly with the RJ movement that its history is often taken for granted— the framing of reproductive justice in terms of human rights.
