Background
The Reproductive Freedom and Abortion Access (RFAA) Unit was established in the Gender Health Equity Section to address issues related to reproductive freedom and justice, abortion access and focus attention on California communities who historically and/or systemically experience inequities related to access to related services.
The RFAA Unit leads the administration of the California Reproductive Justice and Freedom Fund (RJ Fund), as established in California’s Health and Safety Code §140. This fund provides grant support to community-based reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations to conduct medically accurate and culturally competent outreach and education on sexual health and reproductive health issues.
The RFAA Unit also administers California’s abortion.ca.gov web site and will fund research grants exploring the root causes of reproductive health disparities.
