Abstract This article focuses on the intersectionality of race, gender, and violence in the lives of Black/Afro-Latinas who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. First, we discuss the trauma of slavery, racism, and colonization in Latin America and the Caribbean, which objectifies Black bodies and renders Blackness invisible. Second, we identify institutional and interpersonal barriers to seeking trauma support. Third, we present preliminary findings from a Listening Circle among survivors who participated in the Black Latinidad: Building Siblinghood to End Child Sexual Abuse Project. Finally, we propose a racially and culturally specific, trauma-informed approach that draws on the strengths of survivors and centralizes their voices and how to intervene.

看不见的瘀伤：童年性虐待黑人/非裔拉丁裔幸存者的理论和实践考虑


摘要 本文重点关注经历过童年性虐待的黑人/非裔拉丁裔生活中种族、性别和暴力的交叉性。首先，我们讨论拉丁美洲和加勒比地区奴隶制、种族主义和殖民化的创伤，​​这些创伤使黑人身体客观化，并使黑人性变得不可见。其次，我们确定了寻求创伤支持的制度和人际障碍。第三，我们介绍了参与“黑人拉丁裔：建立兄弟情谊以结束儿童性虐待项目”的幸存者倾听圈的初步调查结果。最后，我们提出了一种针对特定种族和文化、基于创伤的方法，该方法利用幸存者的优势，集中他们的声音以及如何进行干预。
