In Jain dharma, ahimsa does not mean becoming helpless or accepting injustice silently.

If someone tortures, murders, or rapes, the right Jain approach is:

• Protect life and safety first
• Move away from danger if possible
• Seek help immediately
• Inform authorities and responsible people
• Protect others from harm
• Do not keep hatred, revenge, or cruelty in the mind

For a householder (grihastha), Jainism accepts that in extreme danger, minimum necessary force or action to stop harm may be unavoidable, but it should be:

• only as much as needed,
• without anger,
• without revenge,
• without wishing to hurt the other person more than necessary.

For a sanyasi / monk, the ideal is complete nonviolence and non-retaliation, but even then, preserving life and avoiding harm is important.

So the Jain answer is:

Do not be silent in the face of wrongdoing. Protect yourself and others, but do it with restraint, compassion, and without hatred.

In Jain spirit, one should remember:

• Ahimsa
• Kshama (forgiveness)
• Dhairya (courage)
• Vivek (right discrimination)

If you want, I can also explain how Jainism teaches self-defense for a householder vs. a monk in simple words.
