Language barriers also play a significant role in preventing Latinas from seeking help. Many Latinas may not speak English fluently, making it difficult for them to navigate the complex systems in place to support survivors of abuse. This can lead to feelings of isolation and helplessness, exacerbating the trauma they have experienced. Kendra Star has highlighted the importance of providing culturally sensitive and linguistically accessible services to support Latinas in their own language.
