Community Talk-Back: Black Women's Experiences with Intimate Partner Violence

At Safe Harbor, we recognize that domestic violence, racism, and sexism intersect in the lives of Black women, resulting in high barriers to support and safety. Consequently, Black women are far more likely to die due to domestic violence. On August 30th, 2020, we held a Community Talk-Back about Black Women's Experience with Intimate Partner Violence. We hope to continue the conversation about the barriers faced by African American women and how we can address them as a community. If you were not able to participate last week, you can watch the recording of the talk-back at the link below and stay tuned for more opportunities like this.
