It is unfortunate that despite repeatedly raising the issue of #violenceagainstwomen, directing it to the relevant authorities, no action has been taken in the district.

A woman with a Group I disability, a mother of three, is continuously subjected to violence by her husband and mother-in-law in the Khachmaz district. Her life is now under serious threat, and no measures have been taken by local authorities. This is because her mother-in-law, who abuses her position as a member of the village council, is preventing the investigation and action on the woman’s complaints. The woman wants a divorce, but she is unable to do so. There is no support, and authorities come and go, but in the end, her husband, who suffers from psychological issues, continues his violent behavior. No protection order! No objective investigation! No measures taken!

Only helplessness…

A woman and her three children are living under constant physical violence, in a state of constant threat. The woman, in tears, informed the Support Line about her suicidal thoughts.

What should we do???

Why are the rights of a woman and her children, a vulnerable group, not being protected???

Please, @aileqadinusaq, @polisazerbaycan, @prokurorluq, @sxa.sosial.gov.az take this matter under your control. Right now, a woman's life is in danger in the Khachmaz district.
