Basically a friend in a group chat I’m in is suffering under abusive parents, specifically a mother who tends to beat her. The problem is that she lives in Dubai, which as I understand it is a humanitarian hellscape, and the second problem is that she’s still legally a minor, so it’s not just a question of getting her out of there. Is there anything that can be done in such a situation?

    If she’s discussing said exit plans with you, make sure y’all have some bare minimum OpSec.
    By that I mean… encrypted chat, phone locks, deleting history, etc.
    Otherwise just being there to listen can make a big difference even though I understand wishing to do more, sometimes you can’t and being there is good enough.
