The latest from Jay Smooth is a conversation with Elizabeth Mendez Berry, who wrote an explosive Vibe magazine feature about domestic violence in hip-hop, “Love Hurts [link to pdf],” discussing the recent events between Rihanna and Chris Brown and the greater issue of violence against women:
REFERENCE:
V-DAY: A global site to end violence against women and girls
National Domestic Violence Hotline
Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community
National Latino Alliance for the Elimination of Domestic Violence
Incite: Women of Color against Violence
Men Stopping Violence
spelling error: Rihanna
fyi
Damn. Correcting that right now.
To my knowledge, V-day has never addressed violence against trans women. I think that this is a gap.
