Omni San Antonio Hotel at the Colonnade

Arte Sana is pleased to announce "NUESTRAS VOCES / OUR VOICES: Collaboration and Transformation en la Comunidad.” The goals of this two-day capacity-building event include: eliminating victim service barriers and engaging our communities as active partners in prevention, risk reduction and advocacy efforts. The conference also aims to improve outreach to marginalized Latina@ victims of sexual and intimate partner violence, and to help build effective connections with Latin@ communities at large.

Please join Latina victim advocates and allies from across the nation in beautiful San Antonio, Texas to share, learn and be inspired!
