Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM) is an organization compiled of researchers, activists, writers, as well as other experts devoted to negating ideologies and other harmful policies, philosophies, laws, etc. against sexual and reproductive health. They are dedicated to procreating programs and policies that are focused on social justice as well as human rights, including through their journal. One of the journals, “Poetry for Sexual and Reproductive Justice,” is a collection of 57 poems, some in Spanish, all written by individuals outside of the organization and relating to sexual and reproductive health. Some examples of the topics addressed in poetry are stigma around menstruation, sexual violence, contraceptives, and misogyny to name a few. This anthology could be used as a resource in a syllabus focused on women’s, reproductive, or sexual health. It could additionally be an aid within a creative writing class.
