Breaking the Silence on Domestic Violence (BSDV) was founded in 2015 after the senseless killing of 2 women in Manitoba by their intimate partners while seeking a protection order. This opened the floodgates for other survivors to declare : Enough is Enough! In November 25th 2015, Zita Somakoko a survivor of domestic violence, in partnership with the Manitoba Association of Women Shelters organize the first forum conversation on breaking the silence on domestic violence in Manitoba. Zita shared her story for the first time at the forum, breaking her silence after 15 years.
She has been empowered others since to speak up and share their stories as well.
Breaking the Silence on Domestic Violence started as an awareness movement almost 7 years ago. Today, we’re a provincial organization that has become the voice against domestic violence, family violence and gender based violence with over 500 members.
It now clear to us that there is a greater need of an organization focus on survivors (women, children, family of the victims) support. So, Breaking the Silence on Domestic Violence was incorporated in 2021 to the glory of God!
