“…For example, in one study, when Latino men who were jailed for IPV were asked about machismo, the majority of them agreed that it was a main element in their culture and a major influence on them. One participant said, “I believed that because I was a man I had the right to offend my partner and to do whatever I wanted to her” (Saez-Betacourt, Lam, & Nguyen, 2008, p. 139).…”

This article explores the help-seeking challenges faced by a community sample of 25 Latina intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors. We include the experiences of Latinas who sought help from IPV services and those who did not. Additionally, we utilize an ecological framework to highlight the barriers that are present at multiple levels for Latinas who seek assistance, and we include their recommendations for increasing access. The information provided by these Latina survivors afford social workers the opportunity to address the barriers experienced by them as well as the opportunity to take a proactive stance in further enhancing services available in the community.

“…Kim & Zane, 2004). Anger was one of the most cited factors for precipitating IPV for Latino perpetrators (Saez-Betacourt et al, 2008), and anger expression was related to perpetration among Korean American migrants, but not anger experience (I. J. Kim & Zane, 2004).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most widespread form of violence against women and the most common perpetrators are male partners. Immigration can involve stressors and barriers that are linked to male IPV perpetration. The objective of this systematic review was to identify the factors associated with IPV perpetration among migrant men. Four electronic databases, MEDLINE Complete, Embase, PsycInfo, and SocINDEX with full text, were searched up to August 2021. Studies were selected that examined factors associated with IPV perpetration among first-generation migrants who identified as men/males and were aged 18 years or older. In all, 18 articles met the eligibility criteria for the review, representing a total of 12,321 male participants, including 4,389 migrant men. A wide range of factors associated with IPV perpetration were found at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels. Unique risk factors for migrant men’s IPV perpetration were exposure to political violence, deportation experiences, and minimal legal sanctions for perpetration in some countries of origin. Societal factors explored among Latino immigrants were traditional gender roles such as machismo and norms of violence. All identified factors should be considered in the cultural contexts of the relevant samples and should not be generalized to all migrant men. The findings of modifiable and culture-specific factors have important implications for strategies aimed at reducing IPV perpetration. Future research should explore factors associated with IPV perpetration within specific cultures rather than across broad cultural groupings.

“…Unhealthy masculinity, hyper-masculinity, and machismo are DVIPV realities that impact individuals along the Latino Diaspora. According to Saez-Betacourt, Lam, and Nguyen (2008), the majority of respondents in their study reported machismo as the main element of Latino culture contributing to the incident of domestic violence in which they were involved. Alcalde (2011) states the importance of studies that examine the destabilization of masculinity and its connections to men's use of violence against women.…”

“…Research findings could begin to bring about a more interesting and diverse understanding of participants within DVIPV research. According to Saez-Betacourt, Lam, and Nguyen (2008), studies supported the important role of raising cultural awareness in addressing the DVIPV perpetrators' attitudes and behaviours. In addition, findings of the study highlighted the concerns of the impact of criminal records on immigration status, employment, and family which may not be presenting concerns for individuals that are white and who the majority of DVIPV research has focused on.…”

Domestic Violence Intimate Partner Violence with Male Identified Latino Diaspora participants research was to give a voice to a group of men who committed violence against their partners and provide them an opportunity to talk about who they are, where they learned to be who they are, and how they were impacted by mandatory court programs. Before this study, no significant research had been done on the experiences of Latino Diaspora men within the Greater Toronto Area. The theoretical and methodological lens utilized Critical Race Theory and Latino Critical Theory. Three semi-structured interviews were conducted with male-identified individuals who completed court mandated programs within the Greater Toronto Area in the last five years. The outcomes were an improved understanding about the benefits and gaps that still exist within the mandatory court programs. Findings present much-needed information and consideration about the benefits of linguistic specific supports and the needs for greater educational supports related to healthy relationships.
