What Happens Next?
What Is Reproductive Justice? | 80

In the wake of the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v Wade, women and pregnancy-capable people were left reeling. It was a clear example of how hard-won gains can be reversed, even decades later.

The silver lining is that the decision brought attention to issues surrounding reproductive care that had long been overlooked or simply ignored. Protests in the US and beyond highlighted the global importance of continued advocacy for access to healthcare, better education, and adequate resources.

On a new episode of Monash University’s “What Happens Next?” podcast, host Dr Susan Carland talks to the healthcare providers and advocates working tirelessly to educate people about their health options, ensure that we don't lose ground in the global fight for reproductive justice, and dismantle the systems that have left women's healthcare on the back burner.

This episode’s guests are human rights law expert Dr Tania Penovic; pharmacist Dr Safeera Hussainy; pharmacology researcher Dr Sab Ventura; alumna Louise Johnson, former CEO for the Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority; and Dr Danielle Mazza, head of Monash’s Department of General Practice and director of the SPHERE Centre of Research Excellence in Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health and Primary Care.

A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens.
