As a practitioner with many decades of experience in the field, Datta O'Connor questioned whether a better understanding of history and culture could help these communities implement measures to prevent family violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the most powerful lessons came from those she met through her practice—survivors of transnational abuse and of sexual and dowry exploitation.
