Through thematic analysis of Talking Circles and interviews, this project identifies key barriers ACB women face in accessing services, including systemic obstacles, fear of stigmatization, and the impact of the \u201cStrong Black Woman\u201d schema. The research underscores the importance of Afrocentric praxis in providing culturally informed, inclusive support. Emphasizing community engagement and spirituality, the study advocates for integrating Afrocentric values into care to effectively address the unique challenges of IPV and HIV among ACB women.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this project focusses on communities in the GTA, the findings, practices and approaches provide valuable learnings and approaches that can be drawn on through WHAI work across Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n
