Break The Silence On Domestic Violence

For many women, living in violence is also living in silence. They feel trapped, they experience increased isolation, they do not feel safe in their own home, and they often feel alone and voiceless. We need your help to show women experiencing abuse that they are not alone.

In solidarity for women who are living in silence, #BreakTheSilenceBrant participants will go silent for 24 hours on November 24 to raise awareness and essential funding for Nova Vita and those impacted by violence in our community. Make a difference by supporting the campaign, and raise essential funds, raise awareness, and raise your voice to help break the silence on domestic violence.

• For the month of November, share your commitment to the campaign and share with friends, family and colleagues (maybe even encourage some to join your team)! We also encourage you to share our social media posts (@NovaVitaBrant) to spread awareness about our essential support services.
• On November 24, we challenge you to go silent for 24 hours. Pick a start time that works for you, and remember that you can still communicate! Prerecord messages, text, write, sign, use a white board; get creative to stay connected.
• On November 25, join us as we break the silence on domestic violence in honour of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and begin our 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
