Albuquerque, New
Mexico/$20,000 |

This project will support Enlace
Commnitario to continue
providing bilingual civil legal
services to Spanish speaking
victims of domestic violence.
While domestic violence is
widespread in central New Mexico
and occurs across all racial,
ethnic and class groups, Latina
immigrant victims appear to be
at greater risk due to
significant barriers such as
limited English skills and a
fear of being deported. The goal
of this project is to provide
legal assistance to a minimum of
250 Spanish speaking victims of
domestic violence in Central New
Mexico. |
