"We Always Tell Them, but They Don't Do Anything about It!" Middle School Black Girls' Experiences with Sexual Harassment at an Urban Middle School
Harris, Johari; Kruger, Ann C.
Urban Education, v58 n10 p2543-2569 2023
Black women and girls are frequently left out of narratives on sexual harassment/sexual violence due to pervasive racism and sexism. Schools contribute to this silence by continuing to overlook the exceptional needs and experiences of Black girls. Therefore, this qualitative study used an intersectional lens to examine Black girls' experiences with sexual harassment in an urban middle school. Results indicated participants experienced both physical and verbal sexual harassment and felt their concerns were largely ignored or/or minimized by teachers school administrators. Recommendations for creating safe spaces for Black girls in urban middle schools are provided.
