When the police are in the office you know it’s serious. This time is no exception. Serious injuries from violence. But also we are pleased. Pleased to know that our links with police enable women to find help in their moment of need.

This was a great event with Gillian Tett. Over a year later it’s as relevant as ever as we consider back lash around women’s rights and the need to understand and be relevant to the local context. Tim Jones e

3 new women in our shelter in the last 3 days. One child with serious trauma who is biting and scratching everyone, can’t speak at 4.5 years old. His Mum has had a terrible life, can’t speak Tajik, has no money making it very hard to get help. Now they are safe with us.

When you donate to us you feed the women & children who stay with us, pay the salaries of our professional & caring staff, for transport around the city, for medicine needed. But most importantly you allow us to provide safety and care to women, some who have never had this.

Today we helped a woman fleeing violence get medical help for her son. He was seen by two doctors, we bought medicine & started his recovery journey. If you donate to us, you not only help vulnerable women but you get the chance to win a signed copy of Red Sands by Caroline Eden

To be surrounded by friends & supporters, to know that people are not indifferent, that people that care; it is a great privilege to feel that. We were lucky to have that atmosphere at the official launch of our UK registered charity in London this week. youtu.be/q7GNxXEYu1A

Very interesting article. Reading it I remember the man who, after punching and kicking his wife, sat in our office and cried that his father didn’t love him. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Interesting article on the importance of the health service in cases of domestic violence. In Khujand we see good liaison between hospitals and police when women are admitted with physical injuries or in cases of attempted suicide. #vaw theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

A man in Khatlon, Tajikistan, has been arrested for sexually molesting his 5 year old grand daughter. Very positive that cases like these are reported to the police and action is taken. asiaplustj.info/ru/node/350246

As Asia Plus notes on a different case, “Victims' relatives often conceal the facts of violence, as revealing such cases, especially those involving children, can lead to social isolation for the victim and their parents in traditional Tajik society.” asiaplustj.info/ru/news/tajiki…
