    In UAE Dubai foundation for women and children will assist women suffering from domestic violence, their toll free number is 800 1111.

    You can also contact the welfare officer at the nearest Indian Embassy.

    These are some organizations that can be contacted in the state of IOWA, USA by women who are suffering from domestic abuse or other forms of violence/harassment:

    1 ) Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence
    This is a statewide not-for-profit coalition of DV programmes that provide the full spectrum of help to battered women, including counselling and legal resources. 24-hour statewide hotline: 1-800-942-0333

    2) Iowa Law
    Helpful definition of domestic violence, and details on how to contact an advocate who can speak to your specific situation.

    3) Iowa Domestic Violence Resources - An Abuse, Rape and Domestic Violence Aid and Resource Collection
    This is a comprehensive list of DV programmes broken down by COUNTY, with links where applicable.

    4) WomensLaw.org | Iowa: Where to Find Help
    This site deals specifically with the legal aspects of DV and also has support/information in the form of message boards and chat.

    5) Domestic Violence Information and Resources from Drugfreeinfo.org
    Websites and publications (free to download in PDF) related to DV.

    None of these are Indian organizations as far as I can tell, but that shouldn't really matter.

    Helpline in the UK: 999 and the same in Singapore. That would do for DV.
