This town hall focused on impact of sexual abuse on Black
women's mental emotional and physical health. The focus
of this town hall is how sexual abuse affects Black women's
mental, emotional and physical health. Addressing the
stigmas that prevent many Black women from:
(1) admitting that there is a problem and
(2) seeking help to address these issues. Our goal is
to design and implement policy and community-wide solutions
incorporating the opinions and concerns voiced by Black
women.
