WHAT IS THE COLOR OF VIOLENCE III?
The many forms of violence experienced on a daily basis by women of color
around the world amount to nothing less than a global war on Women of Color.
Color of Violence III will provide an opportunity for women of color to
develop and share organizing strategies to address this global assault on
women of color.We will share strategies on how to stop this war on all
fronts, including: domestic violence; sexual violence; denial of
reproductive rights; police brutality; the "War on Terror"; poverty;
violence against bisexual, lesbian, intersex, transgender, and two-spirit
women of color; attacks on immigrants' rights and Indian treaty rights;
gentrification and denial of affordable housing.
INCITE! is a national activist organization of radical feminists of color
advancing a movement to end violence against women of color and their
communities through direct action critical dialogue and grassroots
organizing.
The Color of Violence is an international gathering and action of women of
color workers, organizers, artists, students, and activists organizing to
stop the war on women of color.The goals of Color of Violence III are to:
* Examine the various forms of violence committed against women of color.
