In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month we are highlighting the voices of Latino men in the movement to end gender-based violence, sharing how they came to the movement, what it means to be a Latino male-identifying person to end gender-based violence, and their approach to engage other Latino male-identifying folks from a culturally responsive practice.
In this second installment of our series, our senior manager of community and capacity building Jose Juan Lara Jr. is joined by his colleague/compadre/hermano Emiliano Diaz de Leon, Men’s Engagement Specialist, Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA). Emiliano has more than a decade of experience working for several domestic and sexual violence centers across Texas. Emiliano joined the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault in 2008, where he provides training and technical assistance on enhancing services to male survivors of sexual violence to individuals and organizations in Texas and around the country.
