Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Jan Christiansen and Shenna Morris share how GCADV is working to end domestic violence and advance racial justice through community engagement.
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.
