Rachid Khadla - How can society find and help women and children living with dictators??

10 replies

FindTheTruth · 12/03/2021 05:52

What should/could be done for women and children suffering like this? How can society identify victims and help them? Are there clues? What about kids from abusive home starting uni - is there support for them and a way tell?

Khadla denies three counts of child cruelty and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The trial continues.

  • Khadla weighed the family weekly and controlled what they wore
  • unemployed for 20 + years, Khadla controlled finances and forced daughter Amira to hand over her debit card to him
  • 'If we did not obey, there would be violence. If you disobeyed him, did or said the wrong thing and did not follow his direction, it was a wooden spoon to the palm of the hand
  • he only allowed hot water to be on for an hour two days a week on a Tuesday and Sunday, when the family were forced to share bath water and top up with a kettle and a jug

I think that for me as someone who has escaped a situation that fortunately was not as bad as that it the first thing is understanding that this is abuse.

Raising awareness of what is coercive control and making it possible for people to ask for help. What you need to understand is the level of fear you experience as a victim of coercive control and how you spend your life anticipating unreasonable requests because you want to make the person controlling you happy.

It is very hard to leave.

sorry you've been through that Sia. I hope you have peace and happiness at home now

People can't leave until they recognise they have the right to live free from the rules, have a safe way to leave and a safe place to go.

They need someone they can go to, say 'I need help' with a guarantee that they wont have to go back to the situation they are trying to leave, and that something will be done immediately so that other people wont be harmed as a result of their actions. Because its a huge step to take, not just psychologically.

perhaps for the next generation, teach kids about coercion, it's a lifesaving lifeskill. no brainer really. I'd fund this. would schools teach it or do they? I'm not in Education.
