Silence is one of the greatest allies of violence. Whether it is child sexual abuse or domestic violence, harm often continues not because laws do not exist, but because conversations do not.

In many families and communities, abuse is hidden behind ideas of “honour,” “shame,” or “private matters.” Children are told to stay quiet. Women are asked to adjust. Survivors are blamed, questioned, or discouraged from seeking help. This culture of silence allows perpetrators to act repeatedly and without fear.

At Peace and Equality Cell, we believe that speaking out is the first step towards justice. Awareness is not just about knowing the law — it is about recognising abuse, trusting survivors, and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and supported.

Through our community trainings, school sessions, and legal awareness programs, we work to dismantle myths around abuse and encourage reporting without fear.

Breaking silence also means strengthening systems – police, legal institutions, shelters, and community networks, so that when survivors speak, they are met with dignity, sensitivity, and action.

Ending violence begins when silence ends. Every conversation matters. Every voice matters.
