The Social Justice and Sterilization Lab supports efforts to provide reparations to surviving individuals who were involuntarily sterilized under U.S. eugenics laws. Two states officially compensated survivors of eugenic sterilization laws: North Carolina (2013) and Virginia (2015). California is currently considering legislation to acknowledge and provide victim compensation to eugenic sterilization survivors.
