Casa Protegida Julia de Burgos: Invisible Bruises - Neck

Bruises are the most common injuries observed on victims of domestic violence. However, they can be almost impossible to detect on victims with darker skin tones. This fact can be detrimental to the victim’s legal case against their attacker. Casa Protegida Julia de Burgos wants to end racial disparities for victims of domestic violence by improving bruising documentation through local legislation.
