Raise Awareness about Domestic Violence within the Latino Community

A study by the National Institute of Justice from 2001-2005 found the average rate of intimate partner violence for women was very similar across most racial and ethnic groups. But within each of those groups we see much higher rates of assaults against women than against men. Latina women were more than 7 times more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence than Latino males.

For the past eight years The New York Latinas Against Domestic Violence have organized the Gladys Ricart and Victims of Domestic Violence Memorial Brides’ March/Walk. Both women and men march through the streets of Manhattan and the South Bronx to raise awareness about the devastating effects of domestic violence on our families and communities, and to remember Gladys Ricart and the many other battered women, children and others who have lost their lives to acts of domestic violence.

Please show your support for this cause by:

1. Participating in the walk.

2. Donating wedding dresses for participants.

3. Volunteering for the event.

4. Providing food/water donations.
