Our Research Plan
Introducing: a landmark national research project by, for and about BWGGD. This groundbreaking research plan will document the lived experience of BWGGDT survivors of anti-Black gender-based violence to advance equity.
Our goal is to reach and represent the diversity of BWGGDT across the country.
