This workshop provides an overview of how the intersections of race, gender, nationality, and other identities impact Black/African DV survivors and their communities. We will facilitate large and small group discussions that illustrate how mainstream services often fail these communities and how culturally relevant services can contribute to Black/African survivors’ safety and healing.
