Meghna’s story illustrates the hidden violence faced by many immigrant women, rooted in societal norms that dictate their behavior. Raised to be agreeable and self-sacrificing, Meghna entered an arranged marriage that quickly turned abusive. For thirteen years, her relationship lacked intimacy, existing instead as an obligation. Isolated in the U.S. and overwhelmed by her husband’s control, Meghna endured physical and emotional abuse, especially during the pandemic. Seeking help, she made an anonymous post on Facebook, which led her to the India Association of Western Washington (IACS). This connection marked a turning point; IACS offered support without pressure, helping her take gradual steps toward independence. Learning to drive became a symbol of her newfound autonomy, fostering a sense of hope. While she has not fully separated from her husband due to financial and immigration challenges, IACS has provided her children with community support and has encouraged Meghna to cultivate her voice. Organizations like IACS are vital not just for rescue but for meeting women where they are, ensuring they do not feel alone in their struggles. Support for such organizations enables women like Meghna to find their strength and speak out against their circumstances.
