'#EndDomesticSilence' provides information and tools for people to have conversations regarding domestic violence. Joko tea packs intend to carry the '#EndDomesticSilence' message into millions of homes. The company is also intending to provide funds for the expansion of the number of 'safe spaces' for women and building online resources for anyone to access.
Rosie Motene, an activist and survivor of gender-based violence, says that she believes '#EndDomesticSilence' applies to everyone. "Women and men all need to address this issue openly and to be prepared to listen in ways that can make a positive difference," says Motene.
"If we can use this climate to really get through the message that silence is an enemy, and provide the means for women to safely speak, we should be able to make some long-overdue real progress," concludes Motene.
