[Fwd: domestic violence among farmworker families]

[Guest guest]

During the next 18 months, the Rural Women's Health Project will be

collaborating with the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and

Florida Legal Services to better understand violence within the

farmworker community and to develop informational materials in the

/fotonovela/ format to link victims to legal and shelter services

through the state's 800 assistance line. We would be pleased to keep

you informed of the findings.

Additionally, the RWHP has worked on intimate partner violence issues

with farmworker women and youth in order to develop materials that can

be used for outreach and for teaching providers about the community's

perspective on violence issues. Those materials are available.

Also, we have worked with the Migrant Clinicians Network assisting them

in describing the impact of male facilitated violence prevention

education. Keep your eyes on the the MCN website for announcements of

the publication of these articles.

Estimados Compañeros/as:

I am developing a research proposal looking at intimate partner violence (IPV) among farmworker families. In particular, I am intererested in examining at the ways in which work-related stress, alcohol use, structural oppression, etc., may contribute to IPV. Are there farmworker-serving organizations or programs that focus on intimate partner/ domestic violence? Also, are there recent reports or articles on this topic that I should know about?

Many thanks for your help.
