Abstract

The introduction of this special issue addresses current political developments surrounding reproductive justice, particularly in the context of trans and queer issues, and outlines the concept of reproductive justice. The idea to the special issue stems from the symposium "Reproductive Justice in the Context of Queer and Trans Reproduction with Assisted Reproductive Technologies," held in 2024 at the University of Graz, and is an outcome of the Elisabeth List project with the same title, led by Martina Schmidhuber and Doris Leibetseder. The content of the conference is summarized, the questions raised by the symposium and the special issue are examined, and the contributions of the special issue are introduced.
