Standing Silent Witness - Annual Visual Awareness Demonstration

Join us for Standing Silent Witness, Resilience’s signature event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (#SAAMChi). In this powerful visual demonstration of the silencing of survivors of sexual violence, participants will gather silently for one hour, wearing t-shirts adorned with messages and stories protesting sexual violence and rape culture.

We invite you to stay for as long as you feel comfortable—whether standing or sitting. This event unites community members, advocates, volunteers, and survivors, all amplifying the voices of those too often silenced. At the end of the hour, we will break the silence and hear directly from survivors.

This event is free and open to all. Together, we’ll show our strength in numbers, spark essential conversations, and raise awareness about the impact of sexual violence.
