The fight against domestic violence and sexual abuse is a battle that requires courage, compassion, and collective action. At Katy Christian Ministries (KCM), our Silent Witness Dinner is more than an event—it’s a powerful evening dedicated to honoring survivors, remembering lives lost, and raising awareness about the devastating impact of these issues in our community.
What Is the Silent Witness Initiative?
The Silent Witness Initiative began as a national project to remember victims of domestic violence by creating life-sized silhouettes representing individuals whose lives were tragically cut short by abuse. These red silhouettes serve as silent yet profound storytellers, each bearing a plaque with the name and story of a victim.
At KCM, we bring this powerful initiative to life during our Silent Witness Dinner, an event that combines storytelling, advocacy, and community support to shine a light on these critical issues.
A Night of Remembrance and Empowerment
The Silent Witness Dinner is an emotionally moving event that unites survivors, advocates, community leaders, and supporters in the shared goal of ending domestic violence and sexual abuse. Highlights of the evening include:
- Powerful Testimonies: Survivors share their journeys of resilience and hope, reminding us all of the strength it takes to overcome abuse.
- Silent Witness Display: A poignant tribute to victims, this display ensures that their stories are not forgotten and inspires us to take action.
- Community Action: Attendees learn about the resources and programs provided by KCM’s Crisis Center, including counseling, advocacy, and support groups.
Why It Matters
Domestic violence is often a hidden issue, shrouded in stigma and silence. Events like the Silent Witness Dinner help to break that silence, bringing awareness to the challenges survivors face and inspiring the community to stand together in support.
