With nationally recognized programs for the healing and prevention of domestic and sexual violence, Mujeres has transformed the lives of over 40,000 women and families over the past 50 years. One thing Mujeres has learned from the multitude of stories shared by survivors is, if you don&#8217;t tell your own story, your story will be lost forever. After 50 years of civically engaged service on issues of economic justice, immigrant justice, gender-based violence, and women&#8217;s health, it is time to tell this story.<\/p>\n<p>The story of <i>Mujeres<\/i> is a uniquely Latina story, a uniquely <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> story, one whose story many have tried to erase; but its founders and all those who came after continued to fight to uplift the first voice of Latinas and work with them to build avenues towards healing, leadership and economic success. In a time where the humanity of immigrant communities and women&#8217;s body autonomy continue to be debated nationally, Mujeres&#8217; story demonstrates the triumph of women\u2014working together to build from a place of strength and heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I fear how this election results will impact more women seeking reproductive health care and that individual bodily autonomy will not be respected and valued,&#8221; said President &amp; CEO, <span class=\"xn-person\">Linda X. Tortolero<\/span>, &#8220;At the same time, I am reminded about my love for Mujeres and the communities we serve. When Mujeres opened its doors in 1973, our founders fought against social, cultural and geographic forces to serve those who needed us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Glorimar Marrero-S\u00e1nchez is an interdisciplinary filmmaker and artist.
