MIJAS Restaurant is a social organization conceived by a group of Latina women wanting to help women in crisis of domestic violence. The majority of the women who founded MIJAS were themselves victims of domestic violence and now want to help other women going through a similar situation by providing support, job training and a safe environment where they can be themselves.

MIJAS is a job training program for women that are struggling due to domestic violence reasons. Through working and learning new job skills and abilities, MIJAS is a space where women can become empowered and increase their self-esteem in order to provide for their families and, in turn, become self sufficient members of the community.
