Domestic Violence Major Obstacle for Utah County Hispanic Population

Culture and legal status have become two major obstacles in overcoming domestic violence among the Hispanic population in Utah County, Centro Hispano officials said.

Provo Police Department and Centro Hispano, a non-profit organization dedicated to linking and mentoring Hispanics in Utah County, conduct a domestic violence support group every Thursday night. The groups are designed to help people who are affected by domestic violence to overcome the cultural and legal barriers that are keeping them in abusive situations, said Anita Savio, strategic development officer at Centro Hispano.”*
