Your Voice Matters- Break the Silence
“Breaking the silence” is a powerful act of resistance; it shifts personal suffering into collective awareness.
For survivors, speaking out can be a step toward healing, reclaiming agency, and seeking support. On a societal level, open conversations dismantle stigma, challenge harmful norms, and foster communities where individuals feel safe and empowered to share their experiences. Silence enables oppression, but breaking it fuels justice, awareness, and ultimately, transformation.
1 in 3 women worldwide have been subjected to physical or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. (World Health Organization, 2021)
Only 25% of domestic violence cases are ever reported to police, due to fear, stigma, or lack of resources. (UN Women)
Victims often stay silent for up to 7 years before seeking help. (Refuge UK, 2020)
Domestic abuse isn’t just physical — it includes emotional, psychological, financial, and digital abuse, affecting people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds.
“Safety is not the absence of threat, but the presence of connection.”
— Dr. Gabor Maté
