Ending the Exclusion of Black Girls

As described by intersectional feminist and academic Kimberle Crenshaw, Black girls are over-policed and under-protected. In response, the hashtag #BlackGirlsMatter Too campaigns to End the Exclusion of Black Girls. Outside of the Black feminist community, not enough attention is paid to Black women and girls who suffer the same injustices, but are not acknowledged. Black feminists have increasingly been pushing back on this type of thinking and their outspokenness has spurred real-world action. Women leaders of #BlackLivesMatter protests have made a conscious effort to include the names of Black female victims in protests to make sure their lives and deaths are not ignored in the process
