For too long society has been silent on the issue of domestic violence. This is an attempt to shatter that silence.

Recently there have been an increasing number of high profile domestic violence cases in the South Asian community, many ending in the tragic murders or serious maiming of women. The resulting misconception is that domestic violence is confined to this one, specific cultural community. It’s not. Domestic violence is prevalent in all kinds of families and relationships. It crosses cultural, socioeconomic, and inter-generational lines. It has devastating, often fatal consequences for its victims. The sad fact is that domestic violence is everywhere, it’s just good at hiding.

Silent Scars is an attempt to draw back the curtain and expose the endemic problem that lies beneath. Through its’ characters it will explore the root causes, beliefs, and behaviours that lead to domestic violence, the cycle of violence that occurs in an abusive relationship, and the grueling process women take to break free.
