abstract="This article presents the results of a study with providers of domestic violence and sexual assault services in Kansas. In recent years, the changing demographics of the U.S. Midwest have required community-based organizations to adapt their services quickly to &quot;new&quot; immigrant populations, many of whom are Spanish speaking and perceived as &quot;illegal&quot; and thus face numerous barriers to accessing services. We examine how intersecting and interlocking oppressions shape the delivery of services to immigrant women who are facing violence and discuss what strategies advocates use to support women's safety and self-determination in an intense and at times hostile anti-immigrant environment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
