The Silent Witness Program, founded in 1990, has made a powerful national and global impact against domestic violence homicides. The mission of Silent Witness is to promote peace, healing, and responsibility in adult relationships in order to eliminate domestic murders.

Goals of Silent Witness:

REMEMBERING-to honor the women who were murdered by domestic violence

AWARENESS-to raise awareness worldwide of the extent of domestic violence

ADVOCACY-to connect people with successful programs for ending the violence

DATA COLLECTION and STATISTICS- to show how and when we are successful

Strategies for Remembering and Awareness: Silent Witness includes displays of life-sized red wooden figures of women who’ve been murdered in acts of domestic violence, with breastplate shields giving each woman's name and her story.

Strategies for Advocacy: Silent Witness promotes projects; research based, results oriented, successful, replicable, and cost effective. Examples are Court Watch for the court system, Self Mastery Treatment model for perpetrators, Owning Up program for adolescents, Mississippi Model for African American youth, DART model for religious organizations, Taos Model for survivors. Silent Witness Results Projects show proven documentation on reduction of domestic violence.

Strategies for Data Collection: Silent Witness collects data and charts progress on domestic violence homicides for each of the fifty United States each year and posts them on their web site. The domestic violence homicide rates in the U.S. have decreased more than 25% in the last several years. 

Silent Witness around the World: Silent Witness is in all fifty US states, and has exhibits in fifteen other countries. Forty countries are involved through the internet and email newsletter.
