The Role of Confianza in Community-Engaged Work for Reproductive Justice

Rachel Bloom-Pojar ; Maria Barker

Abstract

U.S. Latinx communities face increasing challenges in a political and social climate that threatens their reproductive and human rights. Recent reports have demonstrated numerous concerns for reproductive justice: stress and preterm births have increased for pregnant Latinas since the 2016 presidential election (Gemmill et al. 2019), immigrants are avoiding reproductive healthcare for fear of deportation (North 2019), and pregnant immigrants in detention centers are experiencing miscarriages and inadequate care (Bixby 2019).
