Reproductive Health Rights and Awareness PROGRAMS

Launched in 1989, this education program addresses a range of topics related to reproductive health: values, economics, religion, public policy, abortion, teen pregnancy, drug addiction, AIDS, stress and nutrition. In 1991, experts from the health field and related fields of knowledge and NCBW chapter and board members held a three-day dialogue on the issue of reproductive health rights. This diverse gathering of women represented a myriad of economic, political, and philosophical clusters, which translated into a host of opinions and perspectives on this issue. The women developed strategies and endorsed recommended actions tailored to address the specific health needs of a systematically marginal segment of the American population. The report of the dialogue has been distributed to the NCBW membership and to the nonmember participants.
