Abstract

Women's activists are fundamentally concerned with getting the issue of aggressive behavior at home on the political motivation as a 'women's issue.’ They have a tendency to minimize contrasts among women against racists who areprimarily concerned with the chronicled stereotyping of Black men as the attackers of white women, consequently disregarding intra-race viciousness against women of color. In view of their intersectional way of life as both women and of color, women of color are underestimated in both talks, making an  intersectional methodology crucial keeping in mind the end goal to address and review their encounters with savagery.
