An Urgent Call to Action on Behalf of Latinas

2009 Position Statement Regarding
Sexual Violence & Political Agendas

In this country, there is a serious crisis revolving around Latina victim advocates working in the anti-violence movement. More and more Latino/a communities suffer from a lack of bilingual and bicultural direct service staff, trainers, and volunteers. Developed by Latina victim advocates during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this position statement reveals some of the real-life exploitative experiences suffered by both Latina survivors and victim advocates across the nation. It also offers some concrete steps for retaining their services and expertise.
