Existe Ayuda National Outreach Project
|
|
Since 2006 bilingual and bicultural Latina victim advocates and allies across the nation have collaborated to produce and pilot test products for the Existe Ayuda (help exists) National Outreach Project. The goal of the Existe Ayuda (help exists) National Outreach 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.

Sexual Assault Survivor Resources in Spanish |
|
 Due
to the many requests for service information from Latina survivors,
Arte Sana decided to compile a list of sexual assault victim
services available in Spanish across the nation. The aim was
to create a
simple information access route for Latina/o victims of sexual
assault who prefer or require
services in Spanish.
Also, the Spanish language resource cards
(pictured left) are no longer available.

An Urgent Call to Action on Behalf of
Latinas
|
 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.
