Latina Battered Women: Barriers to Service Delivery and Cultural Considerations
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the cultural barriers, social service, and legal needs of Latina battered women. Latina women are women with parents, grand-parents, or great grandparents from Latin America: Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Central America and South America. As the prevalence of family violence has been recognized and shelter services, police proarrest laws, and orders of protection have become more readily available, the oppression and brutal assaults against Latina battered women are finally being acknowledged as well. For a variety of reasons, including cultural and religious beliefs, Latina battered women have not used existing community agencies to escape a violent home.
