About the event
Join us for our free 3-hour webinar as we delve into the intersectional theories of adultification and its grave implications on the prevalence of domestic and sexual violence against Black girls. We'll unpack the data, unravel the narratives, and explore how societal perceptions impact the victimisation of young women. Our webinar discuss going beyond just understanding the bias to examining how it contributes to victim-blaming, lack of support, and heightened vulnerability.
Our objective is not just to illuminate the problem, but to inspire change. We'll take the conversation forward by identifying strategic actions for different societal sectors – educators, social service providers, law enforcement, and more. We'll examine how understanding and combating adultification bias can lead to improved practices, prevention strategies, and ultimately, contribute to a safer and fairer world for Black girls.
