VITAL seeks to co-create knowledge alongside abortion rights activists and advocates to inform and bolster the abortion rights movements in the Americas. Abortion rights activists and proponents wherever they may be physically located share common cause – to liberate abortion rights and create the conditions in which all people can thrive.
Our process aims to foster cross-regional and cross-context learnings for practical application. Data collection is underway to gain insights from activists, academics, legal experts, artivists and people in adjacent movements to understand factors that have contributed to changes in abortion rights policy and the impact of these changes. We will explore whether and how effective tactics and strategies developed in one cultural, political and geographic context can be adapted and applied elsewhere. Iterative and relational, our research approach will build our understanding by sharing back initial research findings with the abortion rights community to surface new ideas and co-create new approaches to advance rights throughout both regions and beyond.

VITAL is a research initiative focused on understanding the factors driving changes in abortion rights policies in Latin America and the United States.

Justicia Reproductiva sin Fronteras
Reproductive justice without Borders
Across the Americas, reproductive justice movements are built not just through protests or policy win
but through the everyday, behind-the-scenes labor of organizers, researchers, and communities working across borders.
In Latin America, this work is rooted in decades of transnational feminist dialogue. VITAL is documenting those strategies—so that we can learn from each other, strengthen our movements, and build justice that lasts.
🌈 Pride is Reproductive Justice.
📣 Reproductive justice must include queer and trans people—or it isn’t justice at all.

International Transgender Day of Visibility
International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is observed annually on March 31st to celebrate the lives and contributions of transgender and non-binary individuals while raising awareness about the discrimination they face.
The day was first celebrated in 2009, thanks to the efforts of transgender activist Rachel Crandall-Crocker, who sought to create a day that focused on the positive aspects of being transgender, rather than just the struggles.
