The Silent Protest is a day-long event encompassing a ‘silent’ march.
This event is aimed at raising awareness against gender and sexual violence. From the very beginning, the Silent Protest has been both a politically charged event, aimed at raising awareness of the pervasiveness of rape and sexual violence in hetero-patriarchal societies, and an event that fosters a sense of solidarity with all survivors of rape and sexual violence, and creates a space where healing (both individual and societal) can occur. Moreover, from the very first protest we see an emphasis placed on silence. Sign up or volunteer.
