HAPPENING TODAY, April 25, at 1:00 PM ET
NASPA Webinar—The Misunderstood Victimization and Trauma of Black Women

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 1 in 5 Black women are survivors of sexual assault. However, their numbers are lower as it pertains to prosecuted cases. Why is this? It is because Black women and girls have historically been dehumanized, considered unrapeable, and left without legal recourse, therefore they become easier targets for sexual violence and are more reluctant to come forward. In addition negative stereotypes and structural biases have had devastating consequences for Black women. Their trauma and victimization are often misunderstood, mislabeled or dismissed by systems (i.e. criminal justice, healthcare etc..) and even by their own culture.
