7. The hardships and abuse experienced by millions of working BW

and women of color for centuries needs increased recognition and action as Bree Newsome wrote:

"This is not a new issue, of course. When white middle class women were defining liberation as breaking away from being housewives & entering the workplace, most BW were having to work to support their families. Many by cleaning WW's houses & caring for their children."

"Many of these BW experienced sexual violence within the households where they worked (a dynamic going back generations to slavery) & received little help or support from their WW employers."

Many disadvantaged low status women of all backgrounds who had impairments in health and/or lived in poverty also experienced abuse and mistreatment.
The connections between exploitation and abuse and the issues of gender, race and class couldn't be clearer.
