Every 30 seconds a person become a victim of human trafficking. Silence binds us to the chains of shame: loss of freedom, courage, strength and power. Breaking the Silence Together believes that as survivors share stories, we not only unveil the full magnitude of the underreported problem of sexual violence but by our voices a world of hope unfolds for all human kind.

Every great challenge begins with a first step by step breaking the silence that surrounds urrounds rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Each voice becomes a light, and each story a chance for change. Together we can end sexual violence.
