This is tough.

You said several of your co-workers suspect this. Whomever of you (in the office) thinks you have the best relationship with this woman, needs to pull her aside ASAP and suggest 1. she get immediately away from the abuse (physically); and 2. encourage her to report it.

Do you think she's mentally/emotionally ready to be helped? is she ready to rescue herself and perhaps just needs the reassurance of a concerned friend/co-worker or will she deny, deny, deny?

Whomever talks to her should probably not let her know that several of you in the office all suspect abuse; why put that kind of pressure on someone who'se probably under big stress anyway?

I hope this lady gets help real quick.
