Exploring community- and systemic-level gender-based violence in visible minority women across five countries from an intersectionality lens: protocol for a mixed-methods systematic review.

ABSTRACT: The intersection of sexism with racism and xenophobia disproportionately exposes visible minority women to gender-based violence (GBV) at the community and systemic levels.
