Reproductive Activism and Abortion Research Network (RAARN) is a resource for scholars, advocates, and activists to share knowledge and strategies, and to connect with others interested in enhancing reproductive justice options. This website was created as a result of the first international conference in Canada on abortion scholarship: Abortion: The Unfinished Revolution; held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 2014. Our vision was to create a networking space for those dedicated to reproductive activism in general and abortion scholarship and advocacy in particular. On a regular basis we have guest blogs by advocates and scholars on a variety of topics relevant to reproductive justice. You can search past blog posts, seek more information on academic-activists and advocates, and make contact for further collaborations. You can access links to various resources including the programme from the original conference with links to papers, photos, and videos.
