Through in depth interviews and analysis the author reveals their feelings of being silenced as children, women, Black women and as victims/survivors. Being silenced or staying silent about experiences of violence and abuse are key influences in how and when women access help and support and Kanyeredzi illuminates missed opportunities in how and when this help and support can and should be given.  Based on women’s descriptions of how they felt supported, listened to, yet ‘unheard’, chapters explore what professionals might face in the process of supporting Black women who access these services. The book contributes valuable understanding to the growing literature discussing challenges faced by minoritised women attempting to live full lives in the UK. It also includes images created as part of the project. This book is a useful resource for victims/survivors, students, researchers, clinical psychologists, counsellors, health professionals, social workers, educators and specialised violence support organisations.  .Sex (Psychology)Gender expressionSexual behaviorSexual psychologyPersonalitySocial psychologyCounselingSocial justiceHuman rightsGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090Sexual Behaviorhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20080Personality and Social Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050Counselling and Interpersonal Skillshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12060Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Sex (Psychology).Gender expression.Sexual behavior.Sexual psychology.Personality.Social psychology.Counseling.Social justice.Human rights.Gender Studies.Sexual Behavior.Personality and Social Psychology.Counselling and Interpersonal Skills.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.155.33Kanyeredzi Avaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut766130BOOK9910298061103321Race, Culture, and Gender1558327UNINA
