From Shared Stories to Shared Action
Leadership, connection, and collective action, rooted in the experiences of Latina immigrant women.
At SEPA Mujer, we believe that when one woman shares her story, we all grow. That’s why we bring together leadership circles across Suffolk County, Long Island, where Latina immigrant women can launch projects, lead campaigns, and most importantly, begin to see and hear one another.
Here, you’ll find a safe space to learn, build networks, and dream together in the community.
We invite you to explore our site: discover volunteer opportunities, upcoming workshops, and legal resources designed for you and your family.
Voices That Inspire
“I first came to SEPA Mujer in 2012 while attending English classes. I kept coming back because here, I learned about my rights and discovered that it’s never too late to learn. SEPA is wisdom and support all I can say is thank you!”
“I’m a mother of three and I’ve always wanted to help others in need. At first, I thought SEPA only helped survivors of abuse, but I soon discovered their mission is much broader: to empower Latina women in every aspect of life. Learning about my rights changed how I see the world and how I defend myself.”
“I’m a survivor of domestic violence. Fear kept me silent for years, until I found SEPA Mujer. Now I share my story, so no other woman feels alone like I did. No more silence, no more fear.”
“I learn of SEPA during an immigration workshop and learned about laws I didn’t even know existed. Their mission so moved me that I became a volunteer. Today, I’m part of a network of women who feel like family. I know how to protect myself, care for my children, and move forward without fear.”
Each of these stories reminds us of what we can achieve when we come together as a community.
