Speaking on behalf of the organizers, Mrs Aline Choisy is asking all Women's associations from both sides of the island, all our young people, boys and girls to be part of this event as to "STOP THE VIOLENCE" but mostly to ask all those who are suffering from abuse to "BREAK THE SILENCE". She also would like to ask those who are concerned about the situation of violence in general that has to be dealt with on a daily basis, may it be in our schools, in our homes, on the streets to come and join them Please bring along a candle as we will remember those who have been so brutally taken from our hearts: Nejumbia and Ronélia Fleming.
The organizers wish that all participants wear the color purple which is the one of domestic violence or also the color white for the innocence of Ronélia who was only 15 months old and didn't deserve such a cruel departure.
The silent march will be ending at the Waterfront in Marigot where we will gather for a few words of prayer and listen to testimonies of encouragement to our people.
"This is not the time to give up and turn our back to problems; we have to find solutions to eradicate the violence that is conquering our island day by day! But we cannot achieve this if we don't do it together." Mrs Choisy added.
