Empowering and Safeguarding Afghan Women Through Crisis Intervention

Hamdeli is an innovative initiative aimed at countering the prevalent issue of violence against Afghan women through specialized crisis intervention. Leveraging the cultural understanding of empathy (‘hamdeli’), we endeavor to create a safe, anonymous communication channel providing immediate psychological support and practical guidance to those in peril.

Intervention Strategy:

Hamdeli’s core offering is the “Hamdeli Crisis Hotline,” a toll-free service catering specifically to women and girls in distress. This hotline is more than an emergency response—it’s a lifeline, providing:

 

1. Psychological First Aid:

   – Immediate emotional support to stabilize callers.

   – Techniques to bolster resilience and encourage positive coping mechanisms.

 

2. Information and Resources:

   – Accurate, timely guidance tailored to the individual’s predicament.

   – Connection to legal, medical, and social services within the community.

 

3. Anonymity and Accessibility:

   – Assurance of strict confidentiality to promote open communication.

   – Round-the-clock availability, ensuring help when it’s most needed.

Imagine living in constant fear, with no one to turn to for help. For many Afghan women, this is a daily reality. Shaima’s story is a stark reminder of the desperation faced by countless women who endure violence and oppression in silence.

Why a Hotline?

A hotline is crucial in this context due to the anonymity it offers, encouraging women to seek help without fear of retribution or cultural shaming. It serves as the first point of contact, where trained counselors provide empathetic listening, essential information, and referral to further help, be it legal, medical, or social.

Sustainable Vision and Growth Prospects:

With the commencement of the Hamdeli Crisis Hotline, we envisage a decline in the incidence and severity of violence against women. Long term, we aspire to:

  • Expand hotline services to include multiple languages and dialects within Afghanistan.
  • Develop a comprehensive network of support, linking NGOs, healthcare providers, and legal advisors.
  • Implement educational programs to raise awareness and prevent violence against women.

The Story of Shaima

Story

Shaima, 24 year old, hunkered in a corner weeping into her blue burka. Her husband beat her, and threw her out of their house the night before, leaving her at the mercy of her brother, who calls her crazy because she is always crying. Although she didn’t want to marry the man chosen for her but her family forced her into it. And that’s when setting herself on fire seemed like the last resort for her…

In Afghanistan, the rate of violence against women remains alarmingly high, with societal constraints often leaving victims with nowhere to turn. The story of Shaima—a 24-year-old forcibly married and abused, contemplating self-harm as an escape—represents countless silent sufferers. These women require immediate, confidential support to prevent tragic outcomes.
