Understanding your attachment style can change everything 💭

The way we love, trust, and respond in relationships often comes from deeper patterns, not flaws.

Awareness is the first step to growth.

No matter your style, healing is possible.

We stand with Dolores. We stand with every survivor who has carried pain in silence. We hear you, we believe you, and we honor your courage in speaking your truth.

“I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire lite tighting for.
I have encouraged people to always use their voice. Following the New York Times’ multi-year investigation into s*xual misconduct by Cesar Chavez, I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences.
As a young mother in the 1960s, I experienced two separate s*xual encounters with Cesar. The first time I was manipulated and pressured into having s*x with him, and l didn’t feel I could say no because he was someone that l admired, my boss and the leader of the movement I had already devoted years of my life to. The second time I was forced, against my will, and in an environment where I felt trapped.
I had experienced abuse and s*xual violence before, and l convinced myself these were incidents that I had to endure alone and in secret. Both s*xual encounters with Cesar led to pregnancies. I chose to keep my pregnancies secret and, after the children were born, I arranged for them to be raised by other families that could give them stable lives.”

No one should ever have to carry this alone. We stand with survivors always.

Sometimes the people doing the work are just kids with big hearts.

From community health workers to case managers, prevention educators, and the team supporting it all behind the scenes, every role at StrengthUnited helps build safer, healthier communities.

Today we’re sharing a little throwback to remind us that the passion for helping others starts somewhere. 👶🏻📸✨

El 8 de marzo de 2026, únete a mujeres y niñas de todo el mundo para exigir la igualdad de derechos y la justicia equitativa para hacerlos valer, ejercerlos y disfrutarlos.
El lema “Derechos. Justicia. Acción. Para TODAS las mujeres y niñas”, exige acciones para derribar todas las barreras a la justicia equitativa: leyes discriminatorias, protecciones legales débiles y prácticas y normas sociales nocivas que erosionan los derechos de las mujeres y las niñas.
Con nuestro trabajo, StrengthUnited apoya a las familias, previene la violencia s*xual y doméstica y proporciona curación y apoyo a quienes han sobrevivido a abusos. Nuestro objetivo es transformar un acontecimiento traumático en la vida de una persona o una familia en un punto de fortaleza.
