Abstract
Latina
women
have been
found
to
experience
higher
rates
of
domestic
violence
than
non-Latina
women
. At the
same
time
,
Latina
women
face
social
,
cultural
,
institutional
, and
structural
barriers
that
prevent
them from
seeking
or
obtaining
help
,
such
as
traditional
gender
roles
in
intimate
relationships
,
legal
barriers
,
lack
of
education
, and
low
socioeconomic
status
. This
research
examined
the
unique
experience
of
Latina
victims
of
domestic
violence
by
comparing
their
experiences
with
seeking
help
and the
barriers
they
face
with
non-Latina
victims
of
domestic
violence
.
Surveys
were
given
to
Latina
and
non-Latina
victims
of
domestic
violence
who
were
currently
participating
in
domestic
violence
programs
in
Connecticut
. The
focus
of this
study
was to
determine
if there are
differences
among
Latina
and
non-Latina
victims
in
seeking
or
obtaining
help
. The
Latina
women
in this
study
reported
more
support
from the
domestic
violence
agency
compared
to the
non-Latina
women
, that they
became
aware
of
more
resources
in the
community
through
the
agency
, and that they
became
aware
of the
agency
through
the
police
and
could
system
. The
Latina
women
also
reported
more
challenges
and
obstacles
in
seeking
help
,
faced
more
social/cultural
,
institutional
, and
structural
barriers
to
seeking
help
compared
to the
non-Latina
women
. The
study
results
further
inform
the
prevention
,
treatment
, and
response
to
domestic
violence
in the
Latina
community
.
