In our operationalizing UW Medicine\u2019s Healthcare Equity Blueprint<\/a><\/em>, the UW Medicine Healthcare Equity (UWM HCE) team is focused on supporting our workforce in better understanding social determinants of health and intersectionality underlying some of our patients\u2019 healthcare needs. This requires our discussing and learning more about domestic violence among other traumas.<\/p>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s 2010 \u2013 2012 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey<\/a><\/em>, one in four women and one in nine men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and\/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.<\/p>\n

In our acknowledgement of Domestic Violence Month, UW Medicine Healthcare Equity<\/a> UWM HCE reiterates our year-round focus on what Kemberl\u00e9 Crenshaw<\/a> unequivocally explains about intersectionality \u2013 a framework she developed, \u201c[intersectionality] describes the ways in which power structures based on race, ethnicity, gender, class, ability, religion, nationality\/citizenship, and other markers of difference interact to inform individual realities and lived experiences, as well as to shape systemic policies and practices.\u201d Crenshaw\u2019s principle underlies our approach to provide healthcare professionals and their support teams the tools and resources needed to meet patients \u2013 including those who have experienced domestic violence \u2013 where they are.<\/p>\n

This October join UWM HCE as we mourn for those whose lives were taken by domestic violence, celebrate the tremendous progress victim advocates have made over the years, and connect with one another with a true sense of unity to end domestic violence.<\/p>\n
