22F in Egypt — Trapped in an abusive, controlling household and desperately seeking help to reach safety
Hi everyone,
I am 22 years old, living in Egypt, and reaching out because I desperately need help getting away from an abusive and controlling home environment.
Every single detail of my life is strictly dictated for me, including being forced to wear the hijab daily against my will and being constantly pressured into marriage. I live in daily fear for my physical safety, terrified of being hurt if I step out of line. My father strictly forbids me from stepping outside to work, and even my passion for playing my acoustic guitar and writing is treated like a severe sin.
For the past seven months, I have endlessly applied for work-from-home positions in hopes of gaining financial independence quietly, but I have had zero luck. Staying trapped here waiting for an online job is no longer safe or sustainable.
My immediate goal is simple: I am trying to gather a small baseline sum to secure a safe temporary room, cover basic food for the first few weeks, and pay for bus fare. The moment I have a safe door to lock behind me, everything changes. Once I am out of this environment, I can immediately go to in-person office interviews, secure employment, and permanently sustain myself.
Because my physical safety is completely at risk if my family finds out, I cannot share my legal name or exact physical location publicly. However, I am more than willing to verify my situation privately with community moderators or serious individuals.
Even a very small amount gives me a real chance at a quiet, safe life. If you cannot help directly, an upvote to help this reach more people means the world to me.
