Behind Closed Doors: The Hidden Reality of Immigrant Women in Abusive Marriages

A woman came to America seeking better economic opportunities, only to be scammed by employers who scheduled her to work 12 hours without pay. When she married in hopes of finding stability, she instead became trapped in an abusive relationship that lasted 20 years. Without legal status or resources, she remained in these exploitative circumstances until recently finding the courage to leave. She is now going through divorce proceedings and experiencing a healing journey with support from community advocates.
