There s a new push to amplify the voices of Black survivors of sexual violence and reshape the narrative around these women.
It s part of the We, As Ourselves Week of Action this week. The Me Too movement, the National Women s Law Center and the TIME S UP Foundation are all behind this campaign.
âWe have to really disrupt this idea that this is not happening to Black women and girls, when in actuality, Black women and girls face a higher incidence of sexual assault and sexual violence in their lifetime and especially in our childhood,â said Monifa Bandele, Chief Operating Officer of the TIME S UP Foundation.
