あらすじ・解説
Femicide and Gendered Based Violence (GBV) knows no race.
However, statistics show that Femicide & GBV occurs at HIGHER rates within the black community.
Yet, the same statistics show that black women & girls tend to be the most likely to fear calling the police on their perpetrator, mainly because the perpetrator is usually a man they know personally (eg a father, husband, brother etc), as they fear being the catalyst for that man ending up in prison. Even though that man is their abuser.
So this means that as high as the statistics are regarding black femicide & GBV, those stats do not even begin to scratch the surface to accurately reveal the scale of the problem.
In this week’s episode we will unpack the scale of the problem (evidenced by statistics), and also explore the possibilities of why as black women we tend to choose to protect the men that hurt us.
Is it social conditioning?
Or is there something deeper?
