Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article argues that the oppression of nonhuman animals and marginalized humans, particularly women of color and low-income women, are deeply interconnected, especially through reproductive exploitation. It contends that the reproductive justice movement must expand its scope to include nonhuman animals, as their exploitation mirrors and perpetuates the oppression of marginalized humans. The article emphasizes that achieving true reproductive justice requires addressing the intertwined systems of domination based on species and sex.
