hey all, my friend lives in india and is in serious danger. a family member rapes them and has explicit imagery of them which they hold over their head if they ever speak out. no one in their family would believe them, the police dont care where tjeyre from, and the rapist is a wealthy violent criminal. i know it’s distressing but what advice / help can you think of? im keeping them anonymous for obvious reasons. her life is ruined by this, it’s been going on for years. she has given me permission to post this

    You might have better luck getting a good answer if you post in an India community, because it sounds like her situation is very tied to how things operate where she is.

    You can try reaching out to a women’s rescue organization based in India. Guria India Is one I found from a quick google search that has an easily accessible phone number.

    1. Contact serious organizations from India or International to help her, and to help you helping her, see:

    1. Move her out from this dangerous environment she is in to a safe place. If you need funding for this, I would suggest creating a funding campaign online and announce it on all major social media (both Indian and English speaking public).

    2. After she’s safe, she will need a ton of time to recover mentally. To prevent re-victimization, see page 11 and forward on STOP SV: a technical package to prevent sexual violence.

    Keep us update OP

    I read about things like that happening in India and that law enforcement often won’t help.

    I think the only option is to contact a NGO or non-profit organizantion that specializes in that. They’ll know what to do. Or a women’s refuge / shelter. India is kind of a big country so you’d need to look up something that’s available in the specific part of the country.

    As I understand escaping this is difficult and needs to be planned and executed correctly.

    Maybe call an organization like https://www.karuna.org/ they are a british charity. But they are nice and cooperate with project partners in India. Including some that specialize in sexual crime against women. Maybe they can give you some contact for emergency counseling.

    (Edit: There is also:

    But I haven’t checked those. 1091 seems to be the dedicated official helpline for women that got launched after a bad assault that got international media coverage in 2012. But that might not help since you already said police doesn’t help.)

    I would physically destroy the devices the images are stored on. If the police doesn’t care, I would guess they are also corrupt and would care a lot more for a few bucks

        We might try remote access then. Is he knowledgeable in computer science? I guess he could be an easy target for a phishing attack. Can you get information about the devices he uses? We would also need a subject for the attack so we would need to know his hobbies or stores he goes to
