SAAFE Week 2021 - Race and Domestic Violence: A Closer Look

Beverly Gooden delves into intimate partner violence using an intersectional lens. She describes how racism and sexism are the biggest obstacles for black women, how the American history of brutal violence towards black people contributes to non-reporting, and how the silence regarding intimate partner violence in the black community sends a negative message to black women – that their lives do not matter.
