Knowledge is Power!

“Domestic abusers in the Latino community are no different, really, from those in any other, says Rachel Rodriguez.

“It’s about power and control and someone thinking they have a right to do it,” said Rodriguez, executive director of UNIDOS (Spanish for United) Against Domestic Violence. “It’s about the patriarchal society we all live in.”

“When domestic violence happens to a person of color, it’s the culture” that is pointed to as a cause, she said. “That’s not true.”"
