Abstract

This paper aims to examine the evolution and efficacy of feminist legal coalitions within reproductive rights advocacy through an intersectional lens. Drawing on critical legal theory and reproductive justice frameworks, it analyses how contemporary coalitions navigate the complexities of inclusive representation while mounting legal challenges to restrictive legislation. By examining case studies of successful intersectional advocacy groups, the research demonstrates how coalition-building strategies that centre marginalised voices strengthen both legal intervention and community mobilisation efforts. The analysis particularly focuses on how these coalitions interrupt oppressive legal frameworks whilst building sustainable, intersectional movements for reproductive justice.
