ABOUT 

Unveil the Silence: A Global Movement to Reveal the Hidden Truths of Domestic Violence​

The Unveil the Silence campaign is a national initiative with a global vision, focused on uncovering the hidden realities of domestic violence and shedding light on the trauma that many survivors carry in silence. This movement extends beyond Domestic Violence Awareness Month; it is a continuous, worldwide call to bring domestic violence out of the shadows and elevate it as an urgent social and public health issue. Through education, empowerment, and community action, Unveil the Silence aims to disrupt cycles of generational trauma and create meaningful, lasting change.

A Movement to Amplify Voices

Much like the #MeToo movement, Unveil the Silence seeks to unite and amplify the voices of survivors, empowering them to lift the veils of shame and isolation. We call on survivors to share their experiences, knowing that by doing so, they can inspire others, ignite awareness, and create a powerful, collective force for change.
 

Defining Survivors: More Than Just Those Directly Harmed

​Unveil the Silence recognizes that survivors include more than those who were directly harmed by domestic violence. Survivors are also those who love and support them—families, friends, and those who have lost someone to domestic violence. This movement stands for all those affected, including children and adults who witnessed abuse in their families. Whether they are here to share their stories or their stories are carried forward by loved ones, every voice matters in this movement.

Breaking Generational Cycles of Trauma

For many, the cycle of abuse and trauma begins in childhood, often unrecognized and unspoken, yet passed from one generation to the next. Domestic violence leaves an impact that reverberates through families, communities, and entire generations. Even those without direct experience know someone affected, revealing how deeply this issue permeates society.

Children who witness or experience abuse are often left to carry these invisible wounds into adulthood, sometimes facing mental health challenges or turning to substances to cope. For too many, this pain goes unaddressed and remains hidden.

Exposing All Forms of Domestic Violence

Unveil the Silence sheds light on the many forms of domestic abuse—not only intimate partner violence but also the lasting harm inflicted on children, families, and communities. Domestic violence extends beyond physical and sexual abuse; it includes emotional, psychological, and financial abuse that can leave invisible scars just as deep. We’re here to expose all forms of abuse, recognizing that domestic violence impacts people in diverse relationships and settings, not only intimate partnerships.

Special focus is given to marginalized groups, including incarcerated women, people of color, and individuals battling addiction, who often face the greatest barriers in accessing support and resources.

Uniting for Collective Healing and Change

Uncovering these hidden experiences empowers survivors to step forward with their stories. It’s time to reveal the pain, the trauma, and the truth that so many have endured, igniting awareness, healing, and collective action.

Our Vision: A Legacy of Healing

The Unveil the Silence campaign, a national movement led by Battered Not Broken, was founded by [Your Name], a survivor and mother dedicated to breaking cycles of trauma for future generations. As the creator of both Battered Not Broken and the Unveil the Silence campaign, [Your Name] is driven by a vision rooted in the belief that, as women and mothers, we are responsible for leaving a legacy of healing. Rather than passing down the weight of trauma, we strive to show our children—and all children—the strength found in resilience and the transformative power of healing.

We are committed to ending cycles of abuse and pain so that the legacy we leave is one of hope, empowerment, and lasting change. Through Unveil the Silence, we aim to unite survivors, amplify their voices, and build a future where every shared story becomes a step toward collective healing and transformation, ultimately ending domestic violence everywhere.
