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.

When fielding these calls, it is helpful that Alianza is well versed in many Spanish regionalisms, as its support base runs throughout the country.
