A Mobile Language Line for Domestic Violence Victims

A new California State program brings translation services to non-English speaking victims of domestic violence in over 170 languages, all via mobile phone.

As Kathy Black, Executive Director of La Casa de las Madres, a program for battered women, teens, and their children, explained, “Our monolingual and bilingual domestic violence clients are in even more danger when they can’t tell the police about what is going on for them.”
