Prevention at the Intersections is a community-based organization that works to eliminate harm within marginalized communities.
We are an international network of scholars and activists interested in bringing a critical, interdisciplinary perspective and a human rights approach that analyzes, researches, and organizes groups towards community action.
Our mission is to: create and implement transformative responses to violence and other forms of harm against marginalized communities. We do this by providing rigorous research, publication opportunities, and training programs.
We have been in existence for 11 years, to celebrate our 10th year anniversary of prevention science work and research we published 4 issues and one volume of an online open-access journal on topics that intersect with prevention community violence, oppression, and systemic inequality.
