i have a friend that has a lot of problems at home and i don't know what to do, or if there is anything i can do. she is afghan/Muslim and as a result of her culture she really does not have to much power because she is female and because of other things. i would really appreciate it if somebody could offer me some advice. an afghan and/or Muslim person is especially welcome because they would have a better understand of the customs and culture.I need advice on how to help a friend that is a victim of abuse, an afghan and/or Muslim is especially welcome?
to give advice you need to give us some more detail.
- where is she (uk, us, canada, germany, bolivia, cambodia)?
- how does she know you?
- what kind of friend are you, school friend, loverboy, internet friend?
- what kind of problems?I need advice on how to help a friend that is a victim of abuse, an afghan and/or Muslim is especially welcome?
Sometimes Muslims act against their religion rather than according to it as a result of their cultural traditions. Afghanistan is a perfect example of girls being treated un-Islamically. If i knew specific things then maybe i could help but i don't know what you are asking. What is happening to her? If it is abuse then you could go to support agencies or the school counselor to voice your fears.
It may be that the culture is scaring you as you are used to your own culture so if it's not hurting her in any way then i would just let it be
No matter what culture or religious background your friend comes from, her family must abide by the laws of the country in which they live. If they are breaking the law they can be charged.
If you think your friend is in danger ring the police.
If you are unsure if the abuse is illegal then maybe talking to a service would help to clarify the situation and help you with options - numbers below.
