CARASA News newsletter, 1980

Title: CARASA News newsletter, 1980
Description: Committee for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) was a socialist feminist membership-based organization that fought for reproductive justice and against sterilization abuse. This CARASA News article highlights how women in one factory faced the choice of sterilization or loss of employment. Oftentimes, women’s employment status is linked to their reproductive lives, where workplace conditions, attitudes, or low pay could severely limit their reproductive choices. CARASA challenged these realities by connecting the cause for abortion rights to those of workers’ rights; framing the fight for abortion in a socioeconomic context.
