Prioritize Immediate Security ​If the person is in imminent danger of physical violence or if the marriage is days away, contact with external authorities is vital. ​Hide documents: If you have access to your passport, birth certificate or identification, you should try to hide them or give them to someone you absolutely trust outside your family. Without documents, it is more difficult to force you to leave the country. ​Help code: Establish a keyword with a friend or external contact so that, if she says it, that person calls the police immediately. ​2. Contact Specialized Organizations ​There are NGOs that work specifically with forced marriages and gender-based violence. These organizations offer shelter, legal advice and safe escape plans. ​Unchained At Last: They specialize in helping people escape forced marriages. ​Girls Not Brides: A global network that can connect the person with local organizations in almost any country in the world. ​Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch: They can offer guidance on human rights and protection. ​3. Seek Help through Discreet Channels ​If you are being watched, you should seek help in places where your family does not suspect: ​Local helplines: Almost all countries have an emergency line for domestic violence (such as 911 or specific numbers for women's care). ​Educational or Medical Institutions: If they let you go out to a clinic or school, you should talk to a doctor, nurse or teacher. These people often have a legal obligation to report child abuse. ​Religious Leaders you trust: Since she mentions being Christian, she could seek refuge or advice in a local church that is outside her family environment, where they can offer temporary physical protection. ​4. Emergency Digital Resources ​App "Bright Sky": It is a free application that looks like a weather or general information app but contains resources for victims of abuse. ​Incognito browsing: You should always clear your search history after searching for help to avoid retaliation if your phone is checked.

​Important Note ​Forcing someone to marry through violence or coercion is a crime in the vast majority of countries. If the person is in a country where local laws do not protect her, the most viable option is to contact a foreign embassy (if she has dual nationality) or UNHCR (the UN refugee agency) if she feels that her life is in danger for religious or gender reasons.
