title: Voices and Images of Migrant Women who are Survivors of Domestic Violence.
abstract: Twenty-two Mexican immigrant women, using the Photovoice method, discuss their experiences and the challenges they have faced as domestic violence survivors in El Paso, Texas, usa. These include limited access to health services, their status as immigrants, and the lack of education on sexual and reproductive health, in conjunction with their deteriorating physical and mental health as well as that of their children. The final outcome of the project includes a bilingual Photovoice gallery of 28 photographs and stories as well as a "Call-to-action" addressed to policy and decision makers insisting on visibility, gender equality, legal support, education, as well as sexual and reproductive health education.
