Break the Silence Now is a movement that invites all women to make their experiences of violence visible through activities, workshops, art installations, fashion-art-objects, and artivism.

Reduce the levels of violence against women. No woman in the world deserves to live in fear. Talking about our experiences is the first step to healing and protecting future generations of women. WE ALL DESERVE TO LIVE IN LOVE, SISTERHOOD, AND FREEDOM. Cared for by ourselves, by other women, and by the system.​

Hello, I'm Marcela Barrera Palafox. Like many women around the world, I've experienced violence at different times in my life, in different real, symbolic, and virtual spaces. But there was one experience in my life that completely broke me, and I decided to use all that pain and transform it into art to help other women.
