Black Women’s experiences of sexual assault and disclosure: Insights from the margins, ARticle
Black women experience higher rates of sexual assault than White women, yet only one in fifteen reports the crime. This article reviews literature on how Black women’s disclosure experiences are shaped by systemic oppression based on race, gender, and class, focusing on their delegitimization as victims, their portrayal as excessively strong, and the sanctioning of intraracial disclosure. Despite Angela Davis’s 1985 call for action, these intersectional experiences remain understudied, prompting a call for continued research and activism.
