Breaking Silence I Got Your Backpack
Last year, 53,000 women were referred to refuges in New Zealand. For many, there was no time to pack; they just had the clothes on their backs. Tam was one of those who found herself fleeing from an abusive relationship, but upon arrival at a refuge, something changed her life.
Breaking Silence captures many voices speaking a single truth - abuse thrives in secrecy, ending abusive behaviour requires self-knowledge and the courage to speak out.
