ABSTRACT
Intersectional inequality and discrimination are faced by Black women across the globe resulting in inequities related to health, employment, literacy, and gender-based violence. These inequalities are reflected by global inequalities in maternal outcomes. This chapter argues that there is an urgent need for a reproductive justice movement that centers decolonial transnational solidarity. A transnational movement that theorizes, practices, creates and builds shepherds of knowledge that highlights our collective multiplicities of beings, thinking, knowledge, spiritualities and lives, also because the processes of exploitation, extermination, enslavement, and dehumanization we face are interconnected globally. Anti-Blackness, gender oppression, and coloniality are global phenomena. Our liberation is tied to Black people across the globe. Anti-Blackness and gender oppression are intersecting global phenomena that significantly impact individuals’ life chances.
