Breaking Silence Pet Abuse
With many refuges unable to accommodate animals, a surprising 53% of abuse victims stay in violent relationships out of fear of their animals being harmed. Pets are a much-loved part of the family, but all too often are caught up in the cycle of violence.
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.
