<\/a>The virtual event, which is the first of the academic year and 16th in the series, is titled \u201cIntersectionality in Intimate Partner Violence\u201d and will take place 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, on Webex<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe discussion will be moderated by Dr. Angela Fitzpatrick, director of the Catharine S. Eberly Center for Women, focusing on how society does not treat all victims of abuse equally \u2014 from how social biases influence perceptions of survivors to how systemic inequities create barriers for care and assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in three women and one in four men have experienced physical violence in their intimate relationships,\u201d Fitzpatrick said. \u201cUsing an intersectional lens allows us to take a closer look at how race, class, gender and sexuality shape a person\u2019s experience with intimate partner violence so that we can be better equipped to prevent this violence and support survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n
