“…Latinas in general (Bonilla-Santiago, 1996;Gondolf, Fisher, & McFerron, 1988), and Mexican-origin women in particular (Jacques, 1981;Torres, 1991), tend to stay in abusive marriages longer, to return to the abusive marriage more frequently, and to be name fewer incidents as abusive than their non-Latina White counterparts. 3 Evidence also suggests that Latinas are least likely, when compared with other racial/ethnic groups of battered women, to seek help in the form of medical (Krishnan, Hilbert, & Van Leeuwen, 2001;Rodriguez, Craig, Mooney, & Bauer, 1998;Woodward, Dwinell, & Arons, 1992), legal (Krishnan, et al, 2001;Rodriguez, et al, 1996), and/or social services Torres, 1991). In addition, battered Latinas have been found to underutilize informal resources (i.e., talking to a friend, asking a family member to intervene) when compared to other racial/ethnic groups of battered women (West, Kaufman Kantor, & Jasinski, 1998).…”

“…Studies have shown that various socio-structural factors may be obstacles that impede battered Latinas from seeking social service , medical (Krishnan, et al, 2001;Rodriguez et al, 1998), and/or legal help (Krishnan, et al, 2001;Rodriguez, et al, 1996). Battered Latinas' perceptions of their options and their subsequent ability to escape abuse may be affected by socio-economic disadvantage, language issues, discrimination, and immigrant status .…”

“…While all women in society face similar socio-economic obstacles when it comes to fleeing abuse, there are distinct structural elements that exist in many rural or northern communities that make escaping violence in these settings particularly challenging (Websdale, 1995;Krishnan, Hilbert, & Van Leeuwen, 2001). Northern or rural women typically have less formal education, fewer job opportunities, less job security and benefits, and fewer housing and child-care options than their urban counterparts (Schissel, 1992).…”

“…Combined with numerous socio-economic barriers, rural women's isolation and dependency is further magnified due to inadequate sources of formal support such as transition houses, counsellors, women's support groups, social and health care services and culturally relevant services (Greenard-Smith, 2002;Krishnan et al, 2001 ;Jiwani, 2001;Websdale, 1998).…”
