Mars Lord

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of reproductive justice within the UK context, focusing on the pivotal role of Abuela Doulas. It critiques the inadequate investment in grassroots activism led by Black individuals and examines the disparities in Black maternal health. Highlighting the work of Abuela Doulas and the emerging prominence of Black academics in this field, this essay aims to illustrate the crucial need for culturally competent care and systemic change.
