Since 1976, the Feminist Women’s Health Center in Atlanta, GA has sought to “put women’s health in women’s hands” by empowering clients to make the best health care decisions for themselves through legislative advocacy, community education, and direct services. Feminist Center is committed to a vision of judgment free reproductive healthcare and access for all. In addition to offering abortions as part of comprehensive reproductive health care, the Feminist Center works to overcome barriers to services for traditionally underserved women and communities. Using an intersectional reproductive justice approach, the Feminist Center’s services and programs aim to meet the unique needs of people of color, low-income, Spanish-speaking, immigrant, refugee, and LGBTQQI clients. Services are frequently offered with sliding scale fees or other discounts since many clients are uninsured, underinsured, or on Medicaid. More than a health care provider, the Feminist Center has been an advocacy leader at the Georgia state capitol for the past two decades, bringing the voices of women, all the clients it serves, and clinicians into the public debate on reproductive policy and law.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS

[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”30″ bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”” icon=”” width=”” class=”” id=””/][fusion_text]

The National Institute for Reproductive Health works to increase access to reproductive health care by changing public policy, galvanizing public support, and normalizing women’s decisions to have abortions and use contraception. Since 2008, the National Institute has provided nearly $3 million in direct grants, and millions more in hands-on support, to more than 145 organizations in 37 states and 50 localities. In 2017, we are working with partners in 22 states, including in 11 localities.

The National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund conducts political advocacy and electoral engagement to protect and advance reproductive health, rights, and justice in New York and supports partners to do the same in states and cities nationwide.

Together, we do more than just push back against restrictions on abortion and contraception; we push forward in pursuit of a society in which everyone has the freedom and ability to control their reproductive and sexual lives.
