The fundraising for Anna Mankieva has been completed.

Human rights activists have raised 85,000 rubles for Aina Mankieva, who fled Ingushetia from domestic violence.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," after her arrest, Aina Mankieva, who fled Ingushetia due to domestic violence, was forced to move and lost her job. Human rights activists have launched a fundraiser to cover two months' rent and other expenses—a total of 80,000 rubles are needed.

The fundraising drive for Aina Mankieva has been completed, the Marem human rights group announced today on its Telegram channel.

According to the information on the fundraising page on the Boosty platform, 85,513 rubles have been collected; the human rights activists had announced a fundraising goal of 80,000 rubles.

In the spring of 2025, 20-year-old Aina Mankieva, who was reported missing by her relatives, disseminated a video message asking people not to look for her or inform her relatives of her whereabouts. The girl stated that returning home "could threaten" her life, health, and safety. The fugitives' claims about the danger of returning home are well-founded, human rights activists pointed out.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that Aina Mankieva's complaint about sexualized violence in the family is a priority, as human rights activists noted that Aina would be in danger if she returns to the republic to investigate the theft, as was the case with Seda Suleimanova.

As a reminder, Aina Mankieva's father, Hambor, told journalists that he would find his daughter "at any cost," citing his connections in law enforcement and government agencies "to the highest levels." According to the man, the family has recruited "many people" from various law enforcement agencies to help search for Aina, and all of these people, as well as certain State Duma representatives, are "working" to bring the girl home. Aina's father's threat to bring her home has sparked a discussion among Facebook* users about the juxtaposition of traditional values ​​and human rights. For Mankieva, the threat comes from both her father, who promised to bring her home "at any cost," and law enforcement, and only publicity helped secure her release from the police after her arrest. Mankieva's profile had previously disappeared from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' wanted list.

Mankieva said her family belongs to the Batalkhadzhin vird and expressed fears that the entire vird would be looking for her. "Vird practices strict control over children, early marriage for girls (from 13), and rarely allows girls to complete schooling even up to ninth grade," Marem quoted her as saying on January 15. The problem of domestic violence in Dagestan, Ingushetia, and Chechnya affects women of all ages, but it is primarily young women under 30 who try to escape, human rights activists from the Ad Rem team noted in their report. The problem of evacuating victims of domestic violence is most acute in these regions, as authorities and security forces there side with domestic abusers. In June 2023, the BBC released the documentary "When I Escaped" about girls from the North Caucasus who managed to escape the control of their families. For victims of domestic violence, escape often becomes the only option to save their lives, human rights activists emphasized.
