1) Communal Harm
Intersectional Invisibility means that Black Women experience a form of invisibility within their own communities about their struggles. There is an overall lack of support for Black Women trauma victims and often, the community attempts to justify the perpetrator of harms. Black Women can rarely ever be viewed as innocent.
2) Poor Media Representation
Black Women are either absent from or vilified within mainstream forms of media. The term ‘misogynoir’ coined by Moya Bailey refers to this unique double harm that Black Women experience in media portrayal.
3) Erasure from Social Movements
Although Black Women are often present in the harms that necessitate social movements, they are not present within the goals, campaigns, or outcomes of social movements or advocacy campaigns. Despite resting in the margins of multiple identities, they receive limited support from advocacy organizations.
4) Poor Policy Reform
The previous three dimensions breed the condition for poor policy reforms. When social movements, media, and individuals neglect to advocate for Black Women, they become increasingly vulnerable to policies that further marginalize them.
