Higher rates of IPV have been found among Black and LGB identifying females. Applying intersectionality to IPV and help seeking is vital to better educate professionals about the stigmatization and discriminatory acts Black LGB females endure. This systematic review demonstrates where research is focused and saturated for Black LGB females.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe what the current body of scholarly literature states about the experiences of IPV type, frequency, duration and help seeking among Black LGB females.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify what the current body of scholarly literature indicates about whether or not Black LGB females seek help from formal or informal sources for IPV.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to demonstrate the intersecting racial, sexual identity, and social barriers that Black LGB females experience when seeking help due for IPV.
