Description: In diverse communities, like Latin@ communities, survivors of gender-based violence experience additional barriers to safety both from systems and abusers that make it difficult to access services for safety and healing. This webinar discusses how advocates can help Latina@ survivors think through and navigate safety options. Before delving into these options, we provide a space to discuss culture more broadly through a human rights framework and how culturally responsiveness is important for all interactions with survivors. We will also discuss how culture compounds trauma and how culture can also be a source of strength for Latina@ survivors and communities.
By the end of this presentation participants will be better able to:
Assess culturally specific barriers survivors may face and identify strategies for overcoming those challenges.
Understand more of Latin@/x lived experiences and barriers to safety.
Enhance access to services by fostering more culturally responsive systems of advocacy, criminal justice professionals and social services.
This webinar will also be presented in Spanish.
