Understanding Afro-Indigenous Experiences of Gendered Violence and Healing Pathways

“Understanding Afro-Indigenous Experiences of Gendered Violence and Healing Pathways" examines the unique and intersecting experiences of Afro-Indigenous individuals facing gender-based violence (GBV). This resource explores the historical and systemic factors that contribute to heightened vulnerabilities, including colonialism, anti-Black racism, and the ongoing erasure of Afro-Indigenous identities.

Centred on resilience and healing, the backgrounder highlights culturally grounded responses, community-led support systems, and the importance of honouring Afro-Indigenous knowledge in addressing GBV. By amplifying lived experiences and fostering intersectional awareness, this resource contributes to broader efforts toward justice, equity, and healing. Explore how understanding these complexities strengthens pathways toward meaningful, trauma-informed support.
