Speak up!

Young women are the most vulnerable demographic to experience intimate partner violence. Love is hard to define. However, love is clearly not defined as physical, sexual, or psychological abuse. Any type of partner violence can lead to a mental and physical toll on the victim. Some mental health consequences of IPV are depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and PTSD. Some physical consequences of IPV include irregular menstrual cycles, insomnia, and a greater risk of high blood pressure. Please do not be afraid or ashamed about experiencing abuse at this age. The beautiful part about life is that you can always change the ending of your story. You can come out on top as a warrior. You can regain yourself with the proper resources, guidance, and time. Taking the step to report abuse ultimately benefits yourself. Help is always available. For help, please call the Los Angeles County Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-978-3600.

Don’t be afraid of setting boundaries in your relationship with your partner. Whether it be deciding what to watch, eat, or when it comes to intimacy. Feeling comfortable and safe should be the top priority in the relationship.

Financial abuse is overlooked and hard to register in the victims' minds. More often than not, victims stay in an abusive relationship when there is a financial dependence on the perpetrator. This type of abuse is 5 times more likely to happen in low income neighborhoods than in affluent ones (Greenfeld et al., 1998). In these situations, victims may find themselves relying on a perpetrator to provide housing, food, and/or clothes to themselves and/or children. There is also an oppositional in which the victim works to make money and it is taken by the perpetrator. This drive for basic needs can make victims feel stuck, but there is a place to turn to. People can get help finding a safe space and regaining their financial independence.

People of the community, it is imperative that we provide protection for immigrant and refugee women who are more susceptible to intimate partner violence. As a society, it is our responsibility to ensure their safety and well-being. Let us work together to create a safer and more inclusive environment for all women, regardless of their background or circumstances. The reality is that these women may be inclined to remain silent out of concern for the potential repercussions. However, there are various channels available to them to ensure their safety within our borders. It is essential that we disseminate information about these resources to assist immigrant women who are experiencing IPV and may perceive themselves to be trapped in abusive relationships due to the fear of being deported. Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects one in three immigrant women, making it a critical issue that requires our attention. Let us work together to raise awareness and provide assistance to these women in need.

Undocumented women are prone to experience intimate partner violence. Every 1 in 3 women experiences this type of violence. With their undocumented status, their partners will use this to form a kind of control over the individual that will not allow them to report their abuse in fear of being deported because of their status. These women must live with the knowledge and fear of being deported and report the abuse they experience or live with the abuse and hope that their partner will not do anything that will risk their lives or reveal their status. Undocumented women must deal with their partners. Threatening them by calling DHS (Department of Homeland Security) or not providing financial resources can also gain power by telling them that if they follow everything they ask, they will agree to file for immigration papers. To make a change, we have to make this topic common knowledge and start to plan a way to help and make a change.

Aurora Estrada: (tweet)Spreading Awareness on IPV

# data[].attributes.body
Courage, support, and love is the awareness to bring towards the Hispanic community that may be at risk in low income/resources to deal with the issue of Intimate Partner Violence. To be more specific, the Hispanic communities of men in Mexican, Puerto Rican, Mexican-American, and Anglo-American communities are reported to be violent towards their wife’s due to their socioeconomic status. These racial and ethnic minorities are more at risk to IPV due to their low socioeconomic status that can affect their relationships as providers towards their families. Due to their struggles of being financially stable and underlying issues that can cause stress and problems to better keep a healthy relationship with their wives and children. The same criteria relies on the community of immigrants that live in high risk communities. By high risk I mean factors that contribute to IPV such as the status of men having the masculine mentality in a negative context that affects women to be “targets of abuse.” A solution can be to educate those low socioeconomic neighborhoods on better approaches towards IPV without the negativity of violence. Support, education, and courage can spread awareness and solutions towards the issue on IPV.

There has and continues to be a lot of people who have experienced intimate partner violence. A particular group that is at higher risk of intimate partner violence are immigrant women. A lot of the times they are afraid of speaking up because they think that they will get deported. They also feel like if they were too speak up no one would care or do something about because they have no status in the U.S. Every individual deserves to be heard and there shouldn’t be a barrier. You are not alone, there are so many people who are in the same position as you who also need to be heard and helped. If more attention is brought to the issue there is a higher chance of being heard. It’s important to provide resources for all people who are or have experienced intimate partner violence. Love should not hurt. #speakup #immigrantwomen #youarenotalone

In the U.S., Intimate partner violence has been a severe issue that has affected the lives of many innocent women. Young women age 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 make up the highest rates of intimate partner violence each year. Furthermore, About 1 in 3 Latina women will experience IPV during their life. Latina women experiencing IPV are important to learn and bring awareness to becuase many Latina women face language barriers that can restrict them from seeking help. As a community, we must work together to identify signs of IPV in women who may be too afraid or can't communicate with others to seek help becuase it can cause mental health problems such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. If anyone is afraid to speak up against their abusers or notices any signs of someone struggling with IPV, I highly recommend you get in touch with the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 in order to seek help.

Did you know Immigrant women are victims of IPV at a high percentage of 40 to 50 percent are struggling with IPV (Murshid & Bowen, 2018). The fear of Deportation is one of the biggest reasons why immigrant women stay in these relationships giving all control to their partners because of fear. Other reasons would be language skills, economic dependence, and not knowing the laws or how to communicate with the police, (Dutton, Ammar, Orloff, & Terrell, 2006; Hass, Dutton, & Orloff, 2000; Menjivar & Salcido, 2002) This needs to change no one should be forced to stay in a relationship because of fear of what will happen to them.

Our communities are full of many people, including many immigrant women and men. We have seen social media posts and even news reports of women who have been experiencing IPV. These immigrant women who are experiencing IPV are usually too afraid to speak out and scared to go to the police for the fact that they have no status in the USA and have language barriers. We need to show these women that having no status in this country can still help them and get them some type of justice. There are many communities and groups for women who have language barriers and need to speak Spanish and even numbers where people can help with IPV. If you are experiencing IPV, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1(800) 799-7233 and speak to someone who can help and listen.

IPV is an important issue that deserves some awareness among those who struggle to speak up. Usually, those who are in the IPV are scared to speak up about the issue as it will often lead to terrible consequences for their partner. According to cdc.gov, not only that IPV can occur in many different forms such as physical and even sexual violence. More woman experience IPV than men (about a 15% difference, 41% female and 26% male). This suggests that women should be careful when in relationships and make sure that the relation that they are in are not IPV. However, if anyone does find themselves in an IPV and has no clue where to find help, there is a hotline that can be called and is (800)-799-7233.

It’s time to bring attention to those who feel that they do not have a voice to speak up because of their status of citizenship in the U.S. About 40%-50% of women fall victims due to IPV. This usually happens because of the misconception that if they were to report their partner for IPV they will lose their chances of achieving citizenship in the U.S and even refusing to get help because they are feared into believing that they will be deported. For those who are struggling to find a way out of their situation I want to encourage those to look into the domesticshelters.org as anyone can find domestic shelters in your state and city and be able to see that you are not alone and there is hope. For the National Domestic Hotline call: 800-799-7233 or Text Start to 88788, any immediate emergencies please dial 911.

IPV can have severe consequences that cause traumatic and psychological damage. A group that is exposed to this risk is hispanic children. As its often confused with corporal punishment that is mainly influenced by culture ideologies child abuse has impacted the development of children with hispanic background. Children who are experiencing physical abuse often continue this cycle which has negative outcomes going forward. Hispanic children are vulnerable victims, they are instilled with levels of fear, speaking up, seeking help. Its time we provide children and communities valuable resources that can enhance their futures and reduce the rates of abuse towards children. #protectourfuture

El Amor No Duele

1 in 3 Latinas experience IPV in their lifetimes, and 1 in 12 in the last 12 months. Es hora de usar tu VOZ! Enough is enough with the silent culture Hispanic women have grown up with. It is time to speak up against domestic violence against women, a concept that should not be undermined or belittled. Women who have experienced IPV may be too afraid to seek help or understand that they are a victim. Out of fear or lack of awareness, many women do not seek help (socially or medically) but remain isolated. Love should be understood as a concept of nurture, trust, acceptance, and a pact between two people to care for one another. A breach of these concepts should not be viewed as a norm but as a risk for IPV. Women should not be confused and depict violence as a part of the spectrum of what love is. If you find yourself feeling uneasy or uncomfortable with your partner, you should speak to others and create a safe space. Help should not be viewed as a concept that is far from reach. Women are strong and have courage like no other; therefore, I desire to help women break out of the silence and use their voices. Immigration status or gender should not prevent you from seeking safety, love, and security. If you are ready to take the first step and break the silence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for Spanish and English services.

Despite today's world where gender stereotypes and casual discrimination are obvious, violence against women still does not receive the attention it needs to deserve. Many see violence against women as a symbol or statistic, that is saddened by it but they do not believe it can happen to them or to people they know. Violence against women isn’t a women’s rights issue, it’s a human rights issue. More women are killed each year by domestic violence than by malaria, war and accidents combined. I’m driven by a righteous anger about the abuse and injustice so many women face today. If you are in the position where you are not receiving any safe space and love, please get some help. You are needed in this world, don’t be afraid to have the courage to step up from yourself and say Enough is Enough. It takes courage for women and girls to stand up and speak about the abuse in their lives. I have a desire, a drive, to help them change their lives. Help is available.Speak with someone when you’re ready and know you’re worthy of love. Contact this number, 800-799-7233.

STOP! It's time to speak up and say no to abuse!  Too many people suffer in silence because they're afraid to say anything!  It's time to break the cycle.  It's time to bring awareness and begin early education to prevent it by normalizing saying "NO" without having to over-explain yourself. Love is not enough.  You can't get by with just love.  It's time for us to create safe spaces where victims can speak freely and perpetrators can face consequences. Regardless of the circumstances, intimate partners should never be subjected to violence.   Abuse does not discriminate, there is no race, color, gender, or age.  In raising awareness, offering resources, and fostering empathy, we can empower survivors to reclaim their lives and show them that they don't need to walk their path alone.  Let’s create and live in a world with respect, equality, and love. #breakthesilence

Do you guys ever sit and wonder how you can do better or help someone? Think about it, there has been more focus on immigrants now due to the past president. It's not just racism these individuals have to face but the high risk of Intimate Partner Violence. I learned from my Childhood Development Class 4120 which has a focus on abuse for children, women, and anyone, that due to being undocumented women or men can't seek help due to fear of deportation. Men become angrier at times and are more prone to being aggressive because of stress. I think it would be interesting to hear @BernieSanders can you please discuss this topic and possibly provide resources he might know of to help individuals in this situation. Please @BernieSanders if you see this what resources could you provide to help these individuals.
