Drawing on the foundational work of INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, BWSS is undertaking a multi-year Colour of Violence project to examine the intersections of race and gender for Black, Indigenous, migrant/refugee, racialized women and gender diverse people experiencing gender-based violence in British Columbia.
Massy Books has created a booklist in honour of Colour of Violence, and to highlight the experiences of Black, Indigenous, immigrant/refugee, racialized, queer and trans survivors of violence.
