Racial Justice is Centered

A deep analysis of intersectionality and systems of oppression—particularly racism—is needed to create truly holistic interventions. Survivors and people who cause harm are deeply affected not only by sexism but other types of oppression, including structural and systemic racism. In close collaboration with the community, programs should address the impact of all oppressive systems and not only focus on individual change. They should also embark on self-reflection about how their policies, practices, and alliances may contribute to racial and other types of social injustices and make appropriate corrections.
