Contemporary struggles for reproductive rights across the globe once more show how politics shape intimate reproductive experiences. The intersectional feminist concept of reproductive justice has become an important political and theoretical agenda to address power relations in the realm of reproductive rights. We argue that the justice-based approach of the concept can serve as an umbrella for debates taking place in diverse subdisciplinary fields such as feminist, Black, biopolitical, health, environmental, and abolition geographies. The concept of reproductive justice further allows to develop a multiscalar and activist spatial approach to questions of necro- and biopolitics. We hence call for and develop in this paper a reproductive justice research agenda for geography.
