collaborated to produce and pilot test products for the Existe Ayuda (help exists) National Outreach Project. The goal
of project is to produce replicable Spanish-language
outreach tools and training resources which can be disseminated and used to improve the cultural competence of
service providers and improve the accessibility of services for Spanish-speaking victims of sexual violence.

Due to the many requests for service information from Latina survivors,
in 2003 Arte Sana compiled a list of sexual assault victim
services available in Spanish across the nation. The aim was
to create a simple information access route for Spanish-speaking victims of sexual
assault.
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 new
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.
Arte Sana's victim advocacy, outreach, and prevention work have been made possible through ongoing collaborations with advocates across the U.S. and Latin America.
