Little is known about the reproductive health of women migrant farmworkers in the US. The health and rights of these workers are advanced by fundamental human rights principles that are sometimes conceptually and operationally siloed into three approaches: reproductive health, reproductive rights, and reproductive justice. I focus on the latter framework, as it lends critical attention to the structural oppression central to poor reproductive health, as well as to the agency of communities organizing and leading efforts to improve their health. I review what is known about these women's reproductive health; identify three realms of reproduction oppression affecting their reproductive health: labor/occupational conditions, health care, and social relations involving race, immigration and fertility; and then highlight some current efforts at women farmworker-directed change. Finally, I make several analytical observations that suggest the importance of the reproductive justice framework to broader discussions of migrant worker justice and its role in realizing their right to health.
美国女性流动农场工人的生殖健康状况鲜为人知。这些工人的健康和权利是由基本人权原则推动的，这些原则有时在概念和操作上被孤立为三种方法：生殖健康、生殖权利和生殖正义。我关注的是后一种框架，因为它特别关注导致不良生殖健康的结构性压迫，以及社区组织和领导改善健康努力的能动性。我回顾了关于这些女性生殖健康的已知情况；确定了影响她们生殖健康的三个生殖压迫领域：劳动/职业条件、医疗保健以及涉及种族、移民和生育的社会关系；然后强调了目前一些由女性农场工人主导的变革努力。最后，我进行了一些分析性观察，表明生殖正义框架对于更广泛的移民工人正义讨论及其在实现他们健康权方面的作用的重要性。
