Afro-Latin@s, or Latin@s with African ancestry, make up large portions of society in both Latin American & Caribbean countries and the United States (U.S. Census Bureau 2014; Manuel 2019) but are largely under-serviced in the field of gender-based violence (GBV) (Parker, 2020; Freire et al. 2018; Montalvo 2005).
