Brief Explanation

Domestic Violence against women is an epidemic that has claimed victims from all over the world, and although many governments, organizations and social systems are trying to fight it, the issue continues to prevail as long as victims choose not to talk about it. This public service ad addresses this particular point, encouraging women to speak up about their abusive partners. The longer they wait, the harder it becomes to break the silence, and the more it becomes part of their everyday life.
