#8: A Conversation with Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence
On this episode, Khadijah and Paulah sit down with Jan Christiansen (Executive Director) and Shenna Morris (Policy & Community Engagement Director) of the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (GCADV).
It is estimated that 40% of Black women will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime and Black women experience domestic violence at rates 30 to 50% higher than white women.
Jan and Shenna tell us all about GCADV’s cross-cutting and innovative programs to address this racial disparity and end domestic violence in the state of Georgia.
