Domestic violence is any form of abuse — physical, emotional,
psychological, sexual, or financial — that happens in a close
relationship, often involving a partner, family member, or someone
living in the same household. It’s about one person trying to
control or harm another through fear, threats, or force.

Our Mission
“Know the Signs, Break the Silence”
empowers youth aged 17–24 to recognise that domestic violence is not
a private matter and to intervene safely using the A.R.T. of Safe
Interruption: Ask, Respond, Tell. Through interactive tools and
campus activities, the campaign breaks the stigma around bystander
action and encourages youth to speak up with care and confidence.
