Document Summary
Beyond the politics of inclusion: violence against women of color and human rights by. The notion that violence only happens out there, inflicted by the stranger in the dark alley makes it difficult to recognize that the home is in fact the place of greatest danger for women. Similarly, the notion that terrorism happens in other countries makes it difficult to grasp that the us is built on a history of genocide, slavery, and racism. Our home has never been a safe place for people of color. Beyond inclusion: centering women of color in the anti-violence movement. Violence functions as a tool for racism and colonialism for women of color in general. Child abuse passes from one generation to the next. For too long, women of color have been forced to choose between racial justice and gender justice. Yet, it is precisely through sexism and gender violence that colonialism and white supremacy have been successful.
