It was coined by a group of Black women who organised under the name Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice (Zavella, 2020). These women recognised that the reproductive rights movement as not only led by wealthy and middle-"class white women, but it was also focused exclusively on the needs and experiences of wealthy and middle-class white women. The reproductive rights movement did not value or account for the experiences of women of colour, other marginalised women, and trans people—or the unique threats that these people face to their reproductive autonomy."
