Dear Readers,
As I developed the research for and worked on my book, many times I felt the sadness and pain of intimate partner violence as well as the inequalities of our society. However, the more I got involved in the community and the more I share my book with others, I realize of how important it is to keep our hope - hope based on the constant and continuing struggle of survivors of violence, advocates, and the many others engaged in the struggle to end violence against immigrant women.
I was recently speaking about my research in Sweden, where I found an interested and committed audience. I will be soon speaking in Atlanta, Toronto, Connecticut and Dallas, with the confidence that the more people know, the more chances we have to put an end to violence.
