Reproductive Justice
Women’s Fund, along with seven other funds/foundations
nationwide, is part of a matching grant program that
brings new funding and attention to women of color-led
organizations engaged in reproductive justice work. With
a belief that women who are directly impacted by
reproductive injustice must be at the center of any
effort to transform the systems that impact their lives,
Women’s Fund is partnering with the Tides Foundation
Catalyst Fund to build a strong Reproductive Justice
movement. The Tides Foundation Catalyst Fund will match
all donations received in 2009 in support of this
initiative. Organizations awarded grants address a broad
spectrum of issues that create better lives for women,
healthier families and sustainable communities.

What is
Reproductive Justice?
The Reproductive Justice analysis
offers a framework for empowering women and girls
relevant to every family. Instead of focusing on the
means—a divisive debate on abortion and birth
control that neglects the real-life experiences of
women and girls—the Reproductive Justice analysis
focuses on the ends: better lives for women,
healthier families, and sustainable communities.

Women's Advocacy Project works to raise
awareness about the issues facing women and girls in Miami-Dade
County and to build an organized network that empowers women
economically, reduces violence against women and improves the lives
of immigrant women and girls.
We believe that
advocacy, in partnership with grantmaking, is an essential
strategy for addressing the root causes of gender inequality
and for creating long term systemic change.
