I discovered Action Breaks Silence when they visited my school and we took part in an inspirational workshop. 

Their passion and drive to fight against sexual harassment and gender-based violence was infectious and I immediately knew I wanted to join and help the charity in any way I could. As a teenage girl, having support like this charity has made me more aware of how to stand up against injustice. I have gained understanding and insight into how unjust and unfair the world is towards women and how attitudes need to be changed. The charity does its best to empower people of any age and show that it’s good to speak out about your experiences. The use of gender-based violence workshops informs young people ways to respond and defend themselves if ever harmed. 

WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY

ACTION BREAKS SILENCE STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALL GROUPS ADVOCATING FOR RACIAL JUSTICE IN OUR BROKEN SYSTEM. ACTION BREAKS SILENCE FOCUSES PROGRAMME DELIVERY WITHIN THESE COMMUNITIES.

Our hearts are with the families of our murdered brothers, sisters and neighbours. We condemn all racist acts and we mourn for the lives lost and damaged. Our shared work to build a world free from all forms of discrimination, free of violence against women and girls—to build a more just and equitable world—sustains us. It is our fervent hope that this moment in history will mark true change. A change that opens up new opportunities for restructuring our culture toward greater justice … where shared humanity, equal opportunity, and equal responsibility reign.
