Darinda fled Sudan and met a man shortly after arriving in Germany. He treated her very well at first and quickly gained her trust, but the relationship became violent over time. Since they started living together, he has hidden her papers from her and controlled her, frightening her that she will be deported if she does not obey him.
Through a women's counselling centre that was able to help her with legal issues, she came into contact with Lila Hilfe. They provided financial support for her to move to another city and buy a new mobile phone, making it more difficult for her ex-partner to continue stalking her.
