Contact Malaq for supportMake sure you are safe
If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services first. Your physical safety comes before anything else.
Save the evidence
Screenshot messages, posts and profiles, including usernames, dates and links. Store copies where the person harming you cannot reach them.
Do not engage
Avoid replying to or confronting the person. Engaging can escalate the abuse or be used against you.
Report and block
Use the platform's reporting tools for abusive content or accounts, and block the person once you have saved what you need.
Reach out for support
Talk to a helpline, a trusted person or our team. Support can help you plan what comes next.
Browsing safely
Protect your privacy while you look for help
If someone may check your phone or computer, these steps can reduce the chance they see what you have been reading.
Use Quick exit
The red button, or Esc three times, replaces this page with a neutral site.
Browse privately
A private or incognito window does not save the pages you visit in your history.
Clear your history
Remove individual pages rather than everything, as a fully empty history can raise suspicion.
Use a safer device
A trusted friend's phone or a public computer is harder for someone else to monitor.
