“There is no universal freedom without gender equality and bodily autonomy.”
The Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
The Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice is a proactive policy agenda to advance sexual and reproductive health in the United States and around the world. The endorsing organizations are committed to the bold vision that every person has the ability to make their own decisions about their lives and health regardless of who they are, how much money they have, or where they live. Ensuring every person has access to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice is foundational to economic, mental, and physical well-being.
The wrongly decided United States Supreme Court decision to end the constitutional right to abortion was an attack on bodily autonomy and is part of an ongoing global assault on human rights to undermine access to contraception, sex education, gender-affirming care, the rights of women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ people, and more. Simultaneously, we are facing growing crises in maternal health, STI rates, climate, and many more. Our nation and our world cannot continue on this trajectory.
In many parts of the United States and around the world, restrictive laws and policies have made it virtually impossible to access the information, services, and providers people need to care for their health and wellbeing.
That’s why there is a palpable urgency for a bold, proactive and transformative agenda,
Because sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice intersect with numerous other issues, policy solutions must also seek to further gender equity, racial equity, economic justice, environmental justice, the right to community safety, immigrant rights, Indigenous people’s rights, LGBTQIA+ liberation, young people’s rights, survivor rights, and the rights of people with disabilities. Indeed, people most affected by sexual and reproductive health policies are the same people who have fewer resources and means to navigate systemic barriers. While the crises we face cannot be solved by executive action alone, it is critical that the current and future administrations prioritize sexual and reproductive health care and racial and gender justice in all actions and implement policies that will help ensure all people — no matter who they are, how much money they have, or where they are from — obtain and maintain sexual and reproductive autonomy.
In 2019, the Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice publicly released, for the first time, a proactive policy agenda.
In 2020, First Priorities for the Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice was released. It was a detailed punch list of executive and agency actions for the opening days of an incoming administration.
In May 2023, A Blueprint Vision Statement: Principles to Reimagine and Strengthen Reproductive Freedom was released. It was a guiding document for policymakers at all levels of government to action in order to strengthen reproductive freedom.
In October 2023, the 2023 Blueprint Policy Agenda was released.
The 2023 Blueprint Policy Agenda builds upon the many actions that the Biden-Harris administration has taken to advance and defend access to sexual and reproductive health care.
