Support Latinx Survivors and Strengthen Our Community

MiA - Mujeres in Action is the first organization in the Spokane region dedicated to serving survivors of domestic and sexual violence from the Latinx communities. It began in 2018 when founder and Executive Director, Hanncel Sanchez, realized there was a gap in culturally responsive services for Spanish-speaking survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence. She shared her concern with others and gathered the support not only from her family, pastors, and Eastern Washington University professor, but also from Lutheran Community Services of Northwest and the YWCA of Spokane. At the end of September of 2018, MiA was officially launched to the community with the Rompe el Silencio workshop. Since then, MiA has been providing culturally responsive life-saving services and resources to Latinx survivors and their families, as well as educating the community from a Latinx perspective to end family violence.

Towards the end of 2019, the Group Health Foundation supported MiA with it's first grant that enabled the non-profit to hire it's first two employees. In September of 2020 MiA and the YWCA of Spokane partnered to provide safe housing options to survivors facing very high housing barriers. Today, MiA continues to grow with the support of the community.
