Anabela was only 14 years old when she became pregnant, and eventually married the father of her son and the man who she believed loved her.

Unfortunately, Anabela is not at all alone in her story; nearly one in four Latinas will experience domestic violence during their lifetime, and Latinas are only half as likely to report abuse to author­ities compared to victims from other cultures. And while domestic violence occurs across all ethnic groups,
