Domestic abuse help
What can I do to help my Qatari neighbour who I know is suffering in the hands of her husband. She won't answer the door to me and never leaves the house but 2 or 3 times a week I can hear her being beaten and screams and the cries are horrendous to endure. I want to help her. She's trapped. Last night it was unbareable, she was screaming for nearly 20mins. Just as I was about to knock on their door her husband left with 3 other men laughing. They spat at me then drove off in their car. I could hear her crying inside. Is there nothing I can do?
expat, you did the right thing. The poor woman is scared out of her wits to call the police herself. Hopefully the police bloody listen!!!
just4qatarliving - thanks for your comments. However I know when a lady is screaming in pain. The sound is like nothing else. This is no drama on tv, nor are they acting. I can hear her being beaten and screaming when the men come round. I have sent 2 lady friends around now and she won't answer the door to them but they can hear her sobing. I have called the police. They will decide whether ot not to take action.
in my opinion "Mandilulur" with a face of Dog placed a very best option here to solve this problem. but at the other hand, u did not see anything wrong there, u only think that she is beaten and suffering from some type of troubles, but it is much possible that they are preparing for any Drama or any type of film or may be the cry or these type of sounds because of fucking or enjoying themselves with their friend. may be. this is an idea only. so dont call police. first u make sure what is the problem in true.
thanks
I am from Europe. I just phoned the compound security and they said they cannot help me becuase it's the landlord's family member who live there so they fear for their jobs. Terrible situation of fear for everyone.
Thank you for all your advice. Unfortunately my other neighbour said he will not help, and she is not answering the door to me. So I guess my only other option is to call the police. I just hope my actions won't cause her anymore suffering.
If you are a man of course she won't answer the door. Can you send a woman friend? Probably one who speaks Arabic would be helpful.
Dear
if you are from UK, then no worries. Go ahed.
Police can take action.
u dont inform police why she is not informing if she is beaten by her husband may be she dont want to inform first try to contact her and ask her what she want if she like to inform then u must help her otherwise try to solve this mater by other neighbour help
Please inform police. Save her life.
Please call the police, tell them what you wrote over here. They'll take care of the rest.
