Black Women’s Health Project
April 2006 Issue Guide
CABWHP publishes issue guides with thorough analyses of health
policy issues addressing mental, emotional and physical health. Our Issue Guides
are distributed via mail to Policy Advisory Group members and to over 1,000 colleagues
and organizational collaborators. Both our Issue Guides and newsletters can be
downloaded from our website.
The California Black Women's Health Project is working to educate policymakers
and the community about the need for programs for boys and young men on sexual
violence prevention. Sexual violence is a health issue, a reproductive justice
issue, and a mental health issue. Black women are dying because of the silence
and denial around the prevalence of sexual abuse and assault in our communities.
