Silence has long shrouded the realities of violence against women and sexual abuse within church communities, preventing healing, accountability, and justice. This workshop seeks to break that silence by fostering open, honest, and compassionate conversations about these pressing issues in the Jamaican church community.

Through thought-provoking discussions, personal testimonies, and expert insights, we will examine how silence perpetuates harm and explore the deep connections between grief, trauma, and healing. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual factors that contribute to silence, while also learning practical strategies to create safer, more supportive spaces for survivors.

This interactive session will empower attendees—whether church leaders, congregants, or advocates—with the knowledge and tools needed to challenge harmful norms, promote healing, and drive meaningful change within their faith communities. Together, we will take a stand for justice, restoration, and a future where no one suffers in silence.
