advice needed for a friend in danger

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.

i shoulsnt have to say this but only serious responses

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

• https://mittikerang.medium.com/81a878bb77d2

2. 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).

3. 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:

• http://www.ncw.nic.in/helplines
• https://indianhelpline.com/women-helpline

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.)

First, get them out of the situation. If they don't have somewhere to go that the abuser doesn't know about, see if you have a local women's shelter. Leaving the area entirely, at least temporarily, may be a good option.

Second, help them take action about the abuse. Contact the police or find a lawyer to help with the process. There are lawyers who will work cases like this without charging. There may also be local government agencies that are specifically tasked with investigating abuse.

Third, get them to seek help in recovering. There are likely to be local organizations that provide counseling and other resources. This is not going to be a short or easy process, but working at it will make a world of difference over the rest of their life.

I've been through this with more than one friend. Every bit of it is tough. Having your support will make a big difference. Abusers try to make their victims feel powerless and alone. Having a friend who will help works against that, as well as providing comfort.

I wish you both all the best!

Which city is this? If it's in south India, I'm in touch with a few NGOs here who can 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

Move to another city, buy a new SIM card, never speak to anyone from their current surroundings.

What other advice could you possibly get? Gather a mob and lynch him? That does not look realistic.

What castes are you in?

did someone seriously downvote wtf is wrong with you

inda is a huge country. move elsewhere.
