Program Areas
Alianza carries out work in four major areas:
Community Education and Development
Alianza’s goals in this area are to: raise awareness about domestic violence in Latino communities – its existence, prevalence, nature, and its damaging effects; provide information about rights, options, resources, and services. Alianza does this through the media, community forums, special events, and the distribution of materials.
Public Policy
Alianza advocates for and helps to formulate policies that will prevent
and help end domestic violence in Latino communities; monitors and disseminates
information about the impact of domestic violence policies and legislation
on Latino communities; promotes the involvement or inclusion of Latinos
in policymaking and revenue allocating bodies; and advocates for the allocation
of adequate resources to help prevent and end domestic violence in Latino
communities.
Research
Alianza promotes culturally competent research that informs policies and
helps develop culturally competent strategies and programs; helps to develop
and mentor more Latina/o researchers; creates a repository of culturally
competent literature regarding domestic violence in Latina/o communities
and makes it available to the public; and develops partnerships between
academic researchers and community agencies.
Training and Technical Assistance
Alianza organizes conferences and other training forums that help Latina/o service providers and/or DV providers that serve Latino families enhance their knowledge and skills; develops and disseminates culturally and linguistically competent resource materials, such as curricula and training manuals.
