First, do no harm: why philanthropy needs to re-examine its role in reproductive equity and racial justice

This article argues that philanthropy must re-examine its role in promoting reproductive equity and racial justice, advocating for a "first, do no harm" approach. It critiques philanthropic practices that may inadvertently perpetuate systemic inequalities or overlook the intersectional nature of these issues. The authors urge funders to adopt more equitable and justice-oriented strategies that center the experiences and leadership of marginalized communities. The paper emphasizes the need for philanthropy to actively dismantle oppressive structures rather than merely provide superficial support.
