UNIDOS 810 W. Badger Rd. Madison, WI 53713 (800) 510-9195	Advocacy Non-Profit Service Support	UNIDOS was started in 1996 as a group of volunteers committed to helping Latina survivors of domestic violence access local services. The organization started as a result of social action research conducted with migrant farm worker communities in central WI between 1994 and 1996. This early research indicated that, although domestic violence (DV) was a serious problem within the Latino migrant and immigrant community, local DV services did not have the resources to work with this group of abused women. Staff from local agencies needed assistance to learn about Latino culture and how the problem of domestic violence was uniquely experienced by our community. To that end, UNIDOS has become a leader around the state as a resource for training and technical assistance to a variety of agencies around the state working with abused Latinas. Since 2006, in areas where local DV service providers cannot meet the needs of Latina survivors due to a shortage of staff or other resources, UNIDOS Outreach Advocates now offer direct services to help survivors obtain restraining orders, other health and social services, and offer support.
