Know your rights: A guide for African, Caribbean, and Black women living with HIV and affected by intimate partner violence

This guide is for women living with HIV who are experiencing — or are at risk of — intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV includes physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse by a current or former partner. It is not only harmful: it is also against the law. IPV can affect anyone — relevant here are women, including trans women, Two-Spirit, and non-binary people living with HIV. This guide has been developed with a particular focus on the African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) community, recognizing the unique forms of anti Black stigma, discrimination, and racism that shape their experiences of IPV and HIV.
