The Culture of Silence
strong friendship with a school mate a poem gave someone hope that it helped with a depression
childhood abuse 4 out of 6 had been survivors of this childhood abuse.
portrayed by family members: the silence on the stories and tradition of silence that what they had gone through they had to be ashamed about. It continues a vicious cycle.
we have a way of glorifying survival but not the process of it.
- you should be grateful that you served it but do not tell anyone.
It is when we speak out about what hurts us that causes a societal shift. One thing to know your story but another to tell it. People understanding and knowing your struggle will help others to become aware of the issues at hand and the oppression that is so dominant however so subtle. - society knowing more will help to exercise more consciousness on the matter.
We need to defy the culture of silence. Silence is not a virtue.
teaching someone that your feelings aren't real. this only makes things worse because it makes one not only feel as though their feelings are tolerated but they ardent tolerated either. Tolerating pain is not what makes you strong. However it is speaking up on what hurts you that makes you stronger than anything. The ability to speak up and break the the barriers of silent powers.
Do not cover up your silenced wounds, no women should cover her wounds, rather show her scars and narrate her pain, this is what encourages others, to speak up.
The culture of Silence, is the manipulative code that gets you to mask your silence.
It will make you feel as though you aren't worth sharing your feelings or speaking up and asking for help. The idea that if one speaks up, they will be isolated and people will reject them for because of their baggage. Women need to speak up and speak out, this will not only encourage other women to speak out but it will create a community where women do not feel alone. Where they do not feel that they are the only ones suffering and battling and ongoing struggle.

Hearing what others have survived always helps to give someone the strength to continue fighting their battle. Women speaking up on the battles they have won gives other women, and men for that matter a sense of hope to keep on fighting the battle that once seemed unbeatable.
