Women’s AId Launches Hear My Voice, Hear Her Voice, Hear Our Voice
The Creative Work of Survivors of Domestic Abuse’
“She was asking for it”, “You shouldn’t have been out so late”, “Did you see what she was wearing?”, “Sure, it was just a harmless joke” “Why doesn’t she just leave?”
Let the voices of survivors of domestic abuse from across Northern Ireland tell you themselves…
Ballymena library is 1 of 9 libraries across NI that will be displaying the ‘Hear Her Voice’ exhibition, produced by Women’s Aid NI, over the 16 Days of Action from 25th November ending on 10th December 2022.
‘Hear Her Voice’ is the creative expressions of 91 survivors of domestic abuse from across NI. They have shared their stories through art, creative writing, photography and song. Their voices challenge the behaviours of the perpetrator and the institutions that allow those behaviours to continue.
We hope that women’s stories of resilience, courage and creativity will inspire the public to think about how, as a society, we can do better by domestic abuse survivors and their children. We also hope that this exhibition will show a story of hope and resilience for other survivors yet to come forward.
