Traveling Abroad with Abusive Men All Feeds

As a muslim community it is most unfortunate we evade real life situational factors that deserve the  proper magnification. Such as domestic violence. 

As you prepare your thoughts for hijrah or long term residency. We want to bring to your attention a critical safety concern. Traveling abroad with abusive husbands can significantly increase your risk of harm, exploitation, and even life-threatening situations.

Risks Associated with Traveling with an Abusive husband:

 Isolation and confinement: Abusive men may use travel as an opportunity to isolate you from friends, family, and support networks, making it more difficult for you to seek help.

 Increased control and manipulation: Abusive men may use cultural, religious text or language barriers to control and manipulate you, making it harder for you to access resources or communicate with authorities.

 Physical and emotional harm: Traveling with abusive men can lead to increased physical and emotional harm, as they may feel more empowered to exert control over you in a foreign environment.

 Difficulty accessing help:

 In foreign countries, it may be challenging to access local support services, law enforcement, or medical care, especially if you don't speak the local language.

Protect Yourself:

 Trust your instincts:

 If you feel uncomfortable or sense that your husbands behavior is escalating, trust your instincts and seek help. Don't continue to ignore the warning signs (red flags).

Remember: 

Your safety is paramount. If you're planning to travel with an abusive husband reconsider your plans and prioritize you as well as your childrens well-being.
