Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant social issue that plagues individuals across socioeconomic status, national origin, ethnicity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. Within the Latino community, the latest national survey indicates that one in three Latinas have experienced violence from a partner in their lifetime, including physical violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The Latino community in the United States is very diverse, and the experience of IPV is often influenced by one’s unique social-cultural intersections. Factors that may uniquely impact immigrant Latina survivors of IPV include experiences of violence in their country of origin and barriers to accessing help due to language differences and immigration status. This chapter highlights unique challenges, strengths, and opportunities to address IPV among the Latino community. First, IPV prevalence rates among Latina survivors are reviewed for the multiple forms of IPV. Next, barriers to accessing services and help-seeking patterns and strategies are reviewed. Lastly, the authors review intervention programs and their efficacy with Latina survivors, highlighting promising approaches that have been developed to address IPV.
