Anisha Durve is a survivor of physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual abuse. Following her 7-year marriage, she wrote her book, "The Power to Break Free: Surviving Domestic Violence with a Special Reference to Abuse in Indian Marriages" as part of her healing journey. Researching DV books, meeting with victims and survivors, and interviewing women's organizations, gave her the inspiration to share her story. Anisha is committed to inspiring women who live in oppression to know they have the power to break free. Vigorous education and outreach are necessary to address the politics of abuse and oppression of women worldwide. Within the South Asian community, she aims to create a collective voice for issues specific to this subgroup.
