Re: domestic violence among farmworkers

[Guest guest]

A good resource for Spanish-language fotonovelas addressing domestic

violence is Fotonovelas del Valle, based in Fresno, CA. They have

produced a number of very good fotonovelas on this topic, with titles

such as " El Abuso del que Nadie Habla, " " El Rostro del

Dolor, " and " Amor Equivocado. " I have also seen a

telenovela style video on this topic, but can't remember the title or who

produced it.

Tue Jan 6, 2009 9:58 am (PST) 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.
