It makes my blood boil too. I think this is one of those cases in life where you have to make as much noise as possible. When people feel uncomfortable enough they'll be more likely to resolve your situation so that you stop shouting at them.

Noise is good, but it means you have to have a great filter, because trolls exist and will enjoy torturing this woman and her supporters with malicious statements. It's not a matter of if, but when, this happens.
In fact, there's a type of trolling that's become endemic in the US which allows that you are responsible for your situation, and if your situation is good you must deserve it (prosperity gospel), and if it's bad, you must deserve it too (prosperity gospel's evil twin).
But the noise will attract the trolls as well as supporters, and she's got to be prepared for it. And it sounds like she's not psychologically well (as one would expect) so its a serious downside to making noise.
