Aishat Khiramagomedova fled her family home in Dagestan in October 2021, after reaching out to Krepost (Fortress), a charity organization that assists victims of domestic abuse. She made it to Moscow, where Krepost provided her with shelter and access to a psychologist. Within a few months she was starting to find her feet -- she had a job and was looking for an apartment with her boyfriend. But on February 4, Aishat's family tried to kidnap her and bring her back to Dagestan.
