In the most recent National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence survey from the Centers for Disease Control, 42. 1% of Hispanic women reported experiencing stalking, physical, or sexual violence, totaling around 7,618,000 victims. Advocates are emphasizing the unique challenges Hispanic survivors face when seeking help, such as language barriers, cultural beliefs about divorce, and financial dependence on abusive partners.

Hospitality House, located in Rome, serves women in Chattooga and Floyd Counties who are victims of domestic abuse and want the community to know that they do offer bilingual services for any woman in need.

Many Hispanic individuals may not be aware of available resources due to language barriers, religious beliefs, and fear of losing legal rights if they leave their household. Hospitality House is working to ensure survivors know they are not alone. Organizations like Hospitality House provide bilingual services, counseling, support groups, and a crisis line for Spanish speakers. Additionally, the organization offers shelter, clothing, and essential supplies for both women and children affected by domestic violence. The goal is to empower survivors to break the cycle of violence with increased awareness and community collaboration.
