Domestic abuse is a now a national emergency, with 1 in 5 adults experiencing domestic abuse in their lifetime. This taboo subject is still shrouded in shame, with victims suffering in silence for fear of speaking out. How do we give a voice to those trapped in this devastating multi-generational cycle while empowering others to help?
