Sexism and Sexual Harassment

Concerns of African American Women of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church

East Tennessee State University

This article is drawn from a larger research project that examined social issues identified by a select group of religiously active Black females. The research identifies sexism and sexual harassment as two primary concerns. Women proposed that before churches could appropriately address social injustices inflicted on women in society, they must first acknowledge and combat their prevalence within the church. Inclusion of women in decision-making processes in churches was proposed as an initial step toward improving the status of African American women in the community and in formulating relevant policies directed at minimizing such social injustices as sexism and sexual harassment, precursors to sexual violence.
