She Is Not Staying ‘Calladita’ about Intimate Partner Violence

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of intimate partner violence and the misconceptions surrounding consent and sexual assault.

Excerpt... Celina’s office in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood is a studio loft, with high ceilings and an open, airy feel. It’s clear that this is a place where healing begins. It’s bright, filled with plants, and has a peaceful ambiance. Celina Huerta: A lot of women are also learning that if they don’t want to have sex, and you know, their partner still wants to they’re learning like oh that’s sexual assault, I didn’t know that. Even with that, that's domestic violence. You were forced or you were pressured and now they’re feeling guilty and shameful for not wanting to have sex. Johanna found herself trapped by overthinking. "I'm the problem. This is why he sleeps around. This is why he cheats. Because, porque si no, que necesidad tiene to look for it somewhere else, right? If it was good, he would be here at home. Getting it from me." 100LatinaBirthdays.com
