u/Nishkiiiii

I posted this in r/Iraq but so far there isn't a helpful tip to deal with this situation. Here is the post:

"Note: Do NOT reply if you don't have personal experience with the matter, it's very sensitive.

TL;DR: My friend is a young woman that was about to be honor killed twice in her lifetime, and getting raped constantly by her father and abused by her mother.

Since childhood until now, my friend is a slave, just like many Iraqi women: She can't leave the house, has no rights, getting beaten daily, maybe will be forced to marry someday, and she should shut her mouth when getting molested or raped.

When she was very young, a man from the neighborhood molested her (not a boy, a man), and the result was that her dad tried to behead her but was stopped by another neighbor, but he did break parts of her body and never got her to a hospital. At this point, her mom was neutral and didn't abuse her but protected her, and never turned the father to the police because.. it's Iraq, but more importantly she's blindly in love with this coward.
After a while, my friend tried to kill herself by hanging, and her mother found her by accident and was shocked and saved her and took care of her. Her father though he punished her when you found out, physically. At this point, her dad didn't molest her, but was dangerous because he hits her hard everyday, besides trying to kill her that is.

Fast forward to a year ago, all of these years that she endured physical and mental abuse, she had many friends (girls, usually relatives). I was her friend too (male) but I'm an online friend. Her abuse continued of course, but she endured because she has her mom and many relatives that could cheer her up. Although her physical health was going down because nobody would take her to a hospital although many many things are paining her for years.

One day, a year ago, her dad molested her and she went ahead and told her mom, and for the first time she hit her and called her a lire, and even told her that you wear slutty clothes to seduce him. And from that day to today, her mom teamed with the father to hit her everyday, and abuse her with words, and she haven't slept in a long long time but briefly.
I urged her to reach to her uncle to protect her, and he promised her many many things, one of which to protect her from her father. He did that briefly, but then he left her. And now her father know that nobody can stop him, so he raped her and molested her more than you can count.

When I got to know her about 2 years ago, she was alive, had many friends, could sleep and eat kind of normally; because she got her mother and relatives. Now, she lost every single one of them, either by judging her past, or just by finding her boring or annoying. They all left her, and I witnessed all that happened, and I also witnessed her dad tried to behead her again when he found out she's messaging me (a male) on the internet. I'm the only one left in her life. Is there something I can do? I tried to convince her to somehow record her rape so I can somehow get it to court without revealing my identity (I don't know if this is even possible), but our justice system is confusing and every coward is out there in the streets.

I know beforehand that I'll get nonsense or condescending replies, and that's from past experience with this sub. But remember: If you said something stupid like "It's her fault" or "No such thing in Iraq", then you're part of the problem.

Thank you for reading."
