Does your community have Silent Witness figures? Even if you have not shown them in a while, please tell us.
New: Virtual Silent Witness Vigil
A free slide-show vigil you can customize with your own stories, resources and music. Use it on its own, or add it to an existing exhibit. You can also make it into a video to post on YouTube or social media.
Silent Witness is a visual memorial to victims of Family and Intimate Partner Violence.
The Silent Witnesses are red life-size silhouettes. Each one bears a shield on which is written the story of a woman, child or man who was killed by an abusive partner. The silhouettes also memorialize other people who were killed in attacks on an intimate partner.
Silent Witness memorials are portable and can be used for both indoor and short outdoor events (such as marches and vigils).
The information on this website will help you plan and build your exhibit.
