Welcome to the Silent Witness Project

The New Brunswick Silent Witness Project is an exhibit of life-sized red silhouettes representing New Brunswick women who have died tragically at the hands of an intimate partner since 1990. The purpose of the project is to:

	REMEMBER the women killed by a spouse/partner, ex-spouse/partner or intimate acquaintance
	CREATE AWARENESS of the risk factors for intimate partner violence and domestic homicide
	PROMOTE ACTION to end violence against women

Each life-sized red silhouette represents a woman who once lived, worked, and played amongst us. They were daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, friends, neighbours and employees. Because these women no longer have a voice, the silhouettes are called the Silent Witnesses. However, by listening to their stories and honouring their lives, they have a strong, clear collective voice that helps all of us to explore ways to create awareness and prevent future domestic deaths.
