Originating as a woman’s volunteer organization, Voces Latinas was founded in 2003 with the mission to reduce the rate of HIV transmission and violence among immigrants Latinas by empowering, educating, and providing leadership trainings enabling them to use their voice and make healthier decisions for themselves and their families. 

Our reach expanded in 2011 to include all immigrant Latine* groups including LGBTQ, day laborers, sex workers, undocumented, and other sub-populations often gone invisible yet also impacted by HIV and violence. As a direct services agency, Voces Latinas provides culturally responsive services that address immediate needs including intimate partner and gender-based violence, mental health issues, healthcare access, and HIV/STI prevention. Voces Latinas is unique in how we address the social determinants of health experienced by immigrant Latines* including oppression, poverty, discrimination, threat of deportation, interpersonal violence, sexual violence, survival sex. Our expertise lies in our identification and understanding of the immigrant experience and the barriers that come along with such an experience.
