“…Poverty, coupled with the lack of health insurance, makes it difficult for individuals in the area to access sexual and reproductive health services (Deusdad-Ayala, Moya, & Chavez-Baray, 2012;McGuire, 1985). In addition, Texas ranks last in the United States in prenatal care during the first trimester of pregnancy (Kishor, 2012), and family planning clinics in Texas serve only 32% of women in need of contraceptive services (Schafer et al, 2012).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV), which describes physical and/or sexual assault of a spouse or sexually intimate companion, is a common health care issue across the globe. However, existing health outcomes studies are limited. Additionally, no study to our knowledge has specifically focused on the relationship between IPV and sexual health among Latina immigrants in southwestern United States. Through the use of photovoice methodology and a community-based participatory research approach, we assessed these types of relationships drawing on data gathered from 22 Latina survivors of IPV and 20 community stakeholders in El Paso, Texas. Participants identified two major themes: the different expressions of domestic violence and the need for access to sexual and reproductive health services. Community stakeholders and participants identified practical and achievable recommendations and actions including the development of a promotora training program on IPV and sexual health. This assessment extends beyond HIV and STI risk behaviors and highlights disease prevention within a wellness and health promotion framework.

Resumen: Este artículo aborda las experiencias de violencia sufridas por mujeres originarias de Bolivia y del norte argentino durante sus recorridos migratorios asociados al trabajo agrícola en Argentina. El objetivo es analizar de qué modo esas vivencias fueron transitadas por las mujeres, qué incidencia tuvieron en su salud/enfermedad y cuáles fueron sus estrategias de cuidado para afrontarlas. A partir de un estudio etnográfico desarrollado entre 2014 y 2018 en la localidad de Ugarteche (Mendoza) se recabaron relatos de vida que permitieron identificar un complejo mapa de violencias acompañando los procesos de movilidad de estas trabajadoras. De la mano de perspectivas feministas y socio antropológicas de la salud, el trabajo argumenta que estas experiencias - que marcaron los cuerpos y la subjetividad de las mujeres - están ligadas tanto con la discriminación sexual y racista dirigida a las migrantes, como con los contextos de vulnerabilidad social en que ellas viven y trabajan.

The aim of this research was to characterize the assistance given to Mexican immigrant female victims of domestic violence by identifying the actions of CSOs in Los Angeles County, CA, in order to analyze whether they impact local development or not. The study employed a qualitative methodology based on grounded theory and used theoretical sampling, collecting data through semi-structured interviews. It was found that these CSOs have become agents of development, fulfilling a vital role and exerting public and political influence to empower battered women. They also achieved the creation of DART, a program to help battered women, and pushed for the implementation of Law SB 674, which requires that police issue a certification in cases of domestic violence.
