I'M READY TO BREAK MY SILENCE!

We invite written submissions for an open forum. Breaking The Silence on Domestic Violence began with one survivor courageously sharing her story to help others. Through the power of social media, this single story sparked a community—a place where survivors can find strength, healing, and empowerment together.

Breaking The Silence Is A Survivor's Battle Cry!

A BATTLE CRY IS A PHRASE, WORD, OR SOUND THAT IS SHOUTED BY SOLDIERS DURING BATTLE

We share our stories because we believe in the transformative power of words. As survivors and families of victims, we understand how words can harm—and we choose to fight back with words of truth and resilience, rebuilding what was once torn down. By sharing our stories, or those of our loved ones, we raise awareness for those still with their abusers and support fellow survivors beginning their journey to freedom. In sharing our truth, we reclaim our power and start to heal
