Thank you all for being here for today’s important discussion, for continuing to demonstrate
your commitment to the present issue. We’ve discussed at length the importance of
responding to the specific needs of girls and girls in humanitarian crises and also the dire
circumstances many Latina women and girls find themselves within the USA. We’ve
stressed the importance of not only meeting these needs but also ensuring that we’re
grounding our support and interventions in strategies that build their resilience and empower
them-to make just and equal societies and intuitions.And yet a way to try this effect
continues to be our common challenge.We all know that refugee female-headed
households not sharing resources with other households are those most susceptible to
insecurity.We all know that gender-based violence and violence against women continues to destroy
the lives of girls and girls across the region, and prolonged displacement will deepen and
exacerbate this.We all know that women’s rates of empowerment amongst the refugee
community remain woefully low.
Today, I shall speak on behalf of countless voiceless Latina women that are left in despair
thanks to illegal immigration status.Abusive and controlling men are continuously exploiting
and blackmailing them. Our Latina girls face domestic abuse. But they do not report their
cases because of the fear of being deported.Violence Against Women Act(VAWA) could be
a significant institution to assist refugees to cope with violence. Today we shall raise their
voice,we shall uncover the molested rights of our Latina sisters. We acknowledge that
there’s lots of labor that has been put by VAWA because it was signed into office by
respected president William Jefferson Clinton and it proved to be the largest source of
refuge for girls that suffer from any kind of violence. in keeping with research, it’s been
known that between the years 2005 and 2007 almost 1,116,000 people have received
violence.
VAWA has proved a focus in guarding the rights of refugees and helping them to place an
end to the continued issue of abuse against women.I examine a girl named Costa, she said
that her boyfriend exploited her by restricting her freedom by blackmailing her with police as
she was an undocumented immigrant. This issue also highlights the oppressed women
refugees.
Today I’m here to aware all those Latina women who are tormented by this trouble.You
guys don’t have to panic, you guys don’t have to feel helpless, you guys don’t have to feel
oppressed because VAWA has given you guys the proper to petition against abusive
husbands,boyfriends,or anyone else. The spots like Dallas,la,Denver,Houston and urban
centers where Latino communities have grown up to 44% and domestic abuse has dropped
to 16%. We are here to empower and strengthen you guys whose voice has not been raised
appropriately.I assure you that you simply guys are visiting to get your rights to guard your
dignity,pride,and faith.
Moreover, a replacement law has been implemented referred to as FD4,which mandated
that every one of the local officials must report detaining requests and if not could face
serious fines and prosecution. We don’t seem to be inquisitive about somebody’s
immigration status,we are only interested in providing the right to our Latina community, and
that we will.
The wail of the immigrant Latina Women exploited in agony has been heard and you guys
don’t seem to be alone, we are with you, and that we are visiting to fight for you. The hour
requires that you just guys should bear in mind the fact that you just have gotten rights and
you’ll benefit yourself by them. We are raising our voice to allow you guys to be powerful and
know that you just can evolve too. We are raising our voices to form awareness for our
unsanctioned Latina women and allow them to know that we feel their pain and allow them
to know that there’s someone who is fighting for them to protect their integrity.You guys may
find respite within the aid that VAWA should offer violence is violence, regardless of the
immigration status of someone. Everyone has the proper to induce support from the officials
and government if their life is being threatened and violated. you ought to not be scared to
hunt help because the rules and regulations are made to guard you to not harm you.
There are plenty of successful Latina women and if we empower this community then it can
sway allow them to play an important role within the country. We cannot allow anybody to
suppress justified human rights.
I want to make sure our Latina women who are suffering and that we shall try our maximum reiugees.

I want to make sure our Latina women who are suffering and that we shall try our maximum
to secure their genuine rights. Don’t fear anyone who is assaulting your rights instead you
must raise your voice and let the suppressors face the results. Our country is thought for
Justice and equality and that we shall not allow anybody to attack the sovereignty of the
country. Nobody is above the law and everybody is guaranteed to follow it. we’d like to make
sure that we are raising the tide of everyone, not only refugees but also of these living within
the communities generously hosting them. Many of those communities also are challenged
by structural gender inequalities, and only until we also address these within the institutions
and organizations that serve refugees,can we observe our commitments to handle gender
inequalities within the refugee populations.
We need an accountability framework that ensures that we all live up to the world
commitments that we’ve made-in particular a number of those I just listed that were made
at the planet Humanitarian Summit-as detailed within the Grand Bargain. We should
measure our success not just in whether needs are met,but also whether through meeting
those needs we’ve also empowered those we are serving and worked to make sure equality
between men and women.
In the end, I want to say that we are here to help our Latina women refugees community. We
are and we will succeed in our efforts. Thank You!
