🕊️ Breaking the Silence: A Call to Compassion and Courage

Domestic violence is not always loud. Sometimes, it whispers through fear, isolation, and silent tears behind closed doors. As women of faith, neighbors, and community members, we are called to listen—to see what the world often overlooks—and to offer safety, hope, and love where silence has caused pain.

October marks the beginning of our Domestic Violence Awareness Campaign: Breaking the Silence, hosted by the Global Foundation for Women’s Health. This movement invites churches, women’s groups, and communities to come together and create safe spaces for healing and change.

💜 Why We Must Speak

1 in 3 women will experience abuse in her lifetime. Yet far too many suffer in silence, unsure where to turn. Abuse is not only physical—it can be emotional, financial, spiritual, or verbal. And every form leaves an invisible scar that only love, faith, and awareness can begin to heal.

🌸 Our Mission

Through this campaign, we are committed to:

• Educating our community on the varied forms of abuse.

• Empowering survivors to reclaim their voice and dignity.

• Equipping churches and communities to become safe havens.

✝️ Faith + Advocacy

Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”We stand on this truth as we offer hope, healing, and restoration to every woman who has ever felt unseen or unheard.
