| Since
our first session in 2000, we have conducted more than thirty-five
workshops in numerous locations in the United States, South Africa,
Uganda, Australia, Brazil, and Canada. Workshops have focused on
stories that explore child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence,
the relationship between gender and HIV transmission, the vulnerability
of labour migrants and their families, the shame and isolation of
obstetric fistula, the challenges of community reintegration for
former child soldiers, and other health and human rights issues.
Our commitment to contextualizing
stories, ensuring that storytellers and collaborating partners decide
on where and how they are shown, and promoting purposeful screenings
in local community settings leads us to offer only a limited selection
of story examples here. Additional links to Silence Speaks stories
can be found among the Case
Studies.
