Our Story
UNIDOS was formed in 1996 by a group of community volunteers committed to helping Latine survivors of domestic violence access local resources and services.
Early research in the 90's indicated that, although domestic violence was a serious problem within the Latine migrant and immigrant community in Wisconsin, particularly in rural settings, local service providers did not have the culturally relevant and bilingual resources needed to work with Latine victims.
Out of this realization, the need for UNIDOS services and programs grew and the organization became an official 501c3 non-profit in 2001.
Today, UNIDOS is one of the most important statewide service providers for the Latine community on matters that pertain to domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.
