Kimberlè Crenshaw states, the intersectional oppression that Black women experience because of their race and gender is the reason why Black women experience a different type of treatment from law enforcement. When cases of violence against Black women are taken to court, the court system analyzes both race and gender separately which takes the reality away for a Black woman who lives in her skin and gender on a daily basis. Although "legal slavery has ended, the rape and sexual torture of Black women and the justification for this torture still continues". Not recognizing both her gender and race, people will never truly understand the discrimination and oppression the Black female victim has gone through. Women have made a huge impact and have fought so hard to get the rights that they have now, but it isn't all women, who can celebrate these rights freely. Black women are still fighting to be seen as equals in society and to law enforcement. Law and enforcement and society's general perspective about Black women is toxic and limiting.
