The first step was to identify whom we were serving because until then we were receiving requests and responding according to the availability of our volunteers. The only criteria was that the person receiving the help was a Spanish-speaking individual in need.During this process, we learned that even though our services were not advertised for victims of crimes, 94% of the requests for services came from Spanish-speaking individuals in distress because of a crime committed against them. Almost 90% of those crimes were never reported to authorities because the victim did not know how to navigate the system, or for fear of not receiving help due to their immigration status and language and cultural barriers. We then realized that in Virginia there does not exist an agency that provides services for victims of crimes that can guarantee immediate access to a Spanish-speaking advocate. Being aware of the barriers that Spanish-speaking victims of violence encounter, The LIVE Center renewed its mission to focus on providing education, advocacy, and support to Spanish-speaking individuals affected by violence and injustice in Virginia, and to ensure that they can access services that will empower them to become happy, healthy and self-sufficient.Today, The LIVE Center utilizes the ‘Líderes’ program developed by Casa de Esperanza, now a nationally recognized domestic violence organization. The program draws on an Immigrant’s natural strengths and creates an opportunity for Latino survivors of violence to be actively involved in creating a change in their community. Through this program, we are able to provide direct services while also expanding the level of impact on both program alumni as well as the community by partnering with the ‘Líderes’ within the community.If you would like more information, email us athola@latinosenvirginia.org" } ] } ] ```
