Past Activities

“Un Nuevo Amanecer” (New Dawn) Video: Voces Unidas created this Spanish-language video especially for the Latina/Latino population. The video portrays the life of a Latina and her experience with domestic violence in her everyday life (in dealing with family, friends, work and other systems). The 25-minute video was made for public education, support groups, and outreach and training. Production of this video was made possible by the Texas Department of Human Services. Cost: $44.95
