Access to immediate, safe and affordable reproductive health care is crucial to one’s safety and well being. However, research has found that individuals who need these services the most, access them the least.
The Latino population is the youngest and fastest growing minority group in the United States where about 1 in 7 U.S. women of reproductive age are Latinas. Yet, Latinos face some of the most alarming disparities in health care, particularity in the area of reproductive health care.
