National Prevention Town Hall 2021 Day 1 Strategy Session B: Border Policies: An Issue of Racial Justice and Safety for Victims of Gender-Based Violence

This workshop from NRCDV's 2021 Prevention Town Hall critically examines current border policies and the impact that it’s having on asylum seekers fleeing gender-based violence and immigrant victims that reside in border communities. This workshop explores the intersection between racial justice, the movement to end and prevent gender-based violence and immigration justice. 

Building on the momentum from the 2020 Prevention Town Hall featuring the East North Central region of the United States, the 2021 event explored prevention strategies that center survivors who are most marginalized, uplift grassroots and community-based organizing, honor the leadership of survivors and advocates who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and promote real transformative change that centers racial justice in our agencies.
