Silence is Not an Option





Talk about domestic and dating violence (intimate partner violence).


  • Raise awareness among others in our community

  • Help to end shame and stigma that domestic violence survivors face

  • Help families and friends learn how they can support someone who has experienced violence

  • Advocate for education for our youth to build healthy relationships and prevent behaviors that perpetuate violence


To end domestic and dating violence, we all need to be part of the solution.


‘Being abusive is a decision: it’s a strategic behavior by your partner to create their desired power dynamic.


Tactics of abuse (in any form) are aimed at dismantling equality in the relationship in order to make their partners feel less valuable and undeserving of respect.’
