Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Children (METRAC)

Published purpose

Through this 31-month systemic change project, METRAC will help advance women’s economic security through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to the employment success of Black women by exploring the intersectional impacts of race and gender, and while examining the association with gender-based violence. They will develop community-led resources to challenge biases and promote cultural sensitivity. They will promote these resources in the relevant communities (including employment agencies) to create a more culturally informed workforce where discrimination is challenged, and positive change is fostered. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
