Elko Hispanic Working Group

Elko Hispanic Working Group Our main goal for this working group is to look at domestic and gender-based violence in the Hispanic community. In 2011 we had 5 deaths.

Domestic and gender based violence exists here in Elko County as it does in other regions. While the deaths have gone down domestic violence is still high. Although there are not statistics or documentation to suggest that this is a problem in the Hispanic or Latino Community, we are not protected against this problem. Exploring Domestic Violence in the Hispanic community would be in our best inte

rest because domestic and gender based violence does not discriminate; our community is just as vulnerable as any other. We have found that there are people here that are interested in engaging in prevention efforts. Elko County has a very large Hispanic community, they are the biggest minority group, yet, there is no one place for them to organize outside of the church. There is no physical structure to develop and deliver targeted programming and services. This workgroup will be an instrument for creating and developing awareness activities including community events and media campaigns addressing Gender Based Violence.
