Our 2025 VOCES de la Comunidad Conference aims to raise awareness on the impacts of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking within Latine communities by centering the voices of survivors and advocates as they share their experiences navigating system in search of support, resources, justice, and healing.

We will also be joined by Latinx Parenting founder Leslie Priscilla, who will facilitate “Ending Chancla Culture: Decolonizing our Families and Raising Future Ancestors”.
