This Black History Month, we at Women In Transition honor the strength, leadership, and vision of Black communities, especially Black women, who have consistently shaped and led the movement to end domestic and gender-based violence. From building community-based support systems to demanding justice where systems have failed, Black women and communities have long led the work of protecting survivors and transforming communities.
