inroads: The International Network for the Reduction of Abortion Discrimination and Stigma is a global feminist hub and community of practice dedicated to nurturing abortion justice movements to dismantle abortion stigma and its discriminatory and harmful outcomes.
With over 10 years in the field, our community currently comprises 2,600+ movement leaders and collectives in more than 120 countries. These include grassroots abortion justice activists, movements, community-based groups and organizations, artivists, scholars, journalists, healthcare workers, policy-makers, researchers, feminist lawyers, abortion providers, accompaniment networks, funders, and other key actors within the reproductive justice ecosystem.
inroads is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 84-3054114) in Washington State, although over 70% of our team, community, and work is rooted in the Global Majority.
inroads Vision, Mission, and Values
We envision a world where abortion access and care are centered on the needs, experiences, and leadership of those who seek them, where stigma, fear, and misinformation about abortion are eradicated through collective cultural change
We are creating a future where we have the tools to transform systemic, legal, medical, and interpersonal levels of stigma, so that people can be free to access abortion care on their own terms.
