i am very good friends with a woman and her 3 children from a lower middle class indian background. They are currently in very great danger from her husband and his family who are violent and have been making threats to all her family. She does not know what to do, she is scared for her family and friend’s lives so she is hesitant to run away as she thinks he will use them to track her down. I have heard the police are not helpful. Does anyone know what i can do to help her? Are there any organisations which will provide protection? Even if she manages to divorce him, he has said he will kill her. Has anyone been through this, if so please contact me as there must be something that can be done, this is such a terrible and unjust thing and she is just one example amongst thousands. If anyone knows of any organisations i can get involved with, please getin touch. Does anyone think it would be worthwhile to use the fact that i am a westerner to raise the profile of womens rights in India and in the west? xxx
