Domestic Violence at the Intersection of Race, Gender, and Religion
June 19th, 2020 | Webinar  

Domestic violence does not exist in a vacuum. Survivors of domestic violence from marginalized communities experience the trauma of abuse within a broader context of systemic oppression and state-sanctioned violence. The traumatic impact of domestic violence on Black survivors is compounded on the trauma of a long history of racism, injustice, institutional betrayal and abuse. Black survivors of violence have the undue burden of having to seek help from institutions that disbelieve, dehumanize, and abuse them. It is crucial to understand the intersection of race and domestic violence in order to support the resilience and healing of survivors in these communities.
