ABSTRACT
This chapter [re]imagines social work practice as a critical site for transformation in work to end violence against Black women and girls. Drawing on experiences of Black women working socially in the specialist ending violence against women and girls sector in the UK. We reflect on the tensions and constraints that have emerged in the context of mainstreaming; and ask questions such as: ‘How can we create space for Black women to work together to heal from experiences of violence, build more collective spaces of recovery and accountability, while disrupting the impact of white, hetero-patriarchal, [Post]colonial social work practices?’
