About the Book

Do you know 87% of domestic violence victims do not report abuse or seek help? How many are aware of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005?

When Silence Speaks uncovers the brutal truth behind the hidden pandemic of domestic violence that affects millions of women and men, too. This book, supported by real-life case studies and expert legal advice, demystifies the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, explaining its provisions in an easily comprehensible way. It also offers a stark look at the emotional and physical toll of abusive relationships, while highlighting the crucial role played by NGOs and activists in supporting victims.

More than just a call for awareness, it urges conversations that will, hopefully, lead to long-term and effective solutions against the scourge of domestic violence.
