“Latina Voices Against Domestic Violence” Panel

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, Latinas Represent partnered with Esperanza United and MANA: A National Latina Organization to host “Latina Voices Against Domestic Violence,” where we discussed the profound impact of domestic violence on the Latinx community and what we can do to stand by survivors.

We are grateful to our incredible panelists, Shay Franco-Clausen, Rocio “Chío” Núñez Ruiz, and Mayor Martha Cardenas-Singh, for all the work they’ve done to support survivors as advocates and public service leaders and for sharing their knowledge and insights with our community.

Throughout our conversation, we were continuously moved by their wisdom and vulnerability. Our speakers emphasized the importance of meeting survivors where they are, providing wraparound services, and having even more Latinas running for office to represent their communities.
