And as we mentioned at the top of the story Lorna Wade and Delvorine Duhaney are two domestic abuse survivors who told their stories on 7NEWS this year. They participated in this afternoon's vigil and told us why they feel it's important they broke their silence.

"My goal right now is to help other women and if they see me they can realize that they don't have to go through abuse. Maybe people will say that I took long to get out of it but nothing happens before it should happen so by me being out and talking out I hope that I could help several other women get out because it is not fair."

"For me this is a great opportunity to get out and speak out against violence. I would say to other women out there to be strong and be very determined. If you come to a point where you are fed up, try to get the courage to get out and stay out because it doesn't really stop."
Activities conclude tonight with a presentation of the dramatic play, "Nora Lives" by the Belize Theatre Company at the Belize Elementary School auditorium. The play is loosely written around the true story of a domestic abuse victim also named "Nora" who was hanged in Belize in the 1960s for killing her abusive husband. Admission is free and the show started at 6:30. It will be followed by a community forum on domestic violence.
