Is the number of women in the U.S. who experience physical violence by an intimate partner every year.
Immigrant women often suffer higher rates of battering than U.S. citizens because they may
come from cultures that accept domestic violence or because they have less access to legal and social
 services than U.S. citizens.


563 human rights organizations denounced last year that the migratory measures promoted by the Government,
endanger migrant victims of sexual and gender-based violence, who now do not report their attacks for fear of deportation.

The project feature portraits of immigrant women, gender violence survivors posing with their artistic quilts in which they
write powerful messages.
In collaboration with VIP (Violence Intervention Project).
