Context and main report A Christian woman in Central Asia was assaulted by her husband after revealing her conversion to Christianity. The victim, identified by the pseudonym Zagida, is 58 years old and participated in prayer and Bible study with Christians of Muslim background, according to local Portes Ouvertes partners.
Current situation After the violence, the husband expelled Zagida from the family home. Since then, she has had no contact with her husband, children, or other relatives. She is now staying with another Christian tied to the local church and lacks employment, relying on support from the Christian community for basic needs.
While family pressure is common in the region, the Christian woman continues to receive spiritual and emotional support from the faith community. Similar cases are reported in parts of Central Asia, where Christians of Muslim origin face family opposition and discrimination due to their faith.
