Please join the Bethany House and The Tole do Lucas County Public Library as we present the Northwest Ohio Silent Wit ness Project Unveiling Ceremony.
 \;

\n

The Silent Witness P roject is a national initiative\, founded in 1990 in Minnesota\, in respon se to an epidemic of domestic violence homicides. There are local Silent W itness Project chapters in all 50 states. \;This event is free and ope n to the public\; however\, due to the intense nature of the program\, org anizers ask that those in attendance do not bring young children.

\n

The 2024 Silent Witness Project is made up of \;more than 50 free-stan ding\, life-sized wooden silhouettes\, each one bearing the name and story of a girl or woman whose life ended violently at the hands of a husband\, boyfriend\, dating partner or stalker. All Silent Witnesses in the collec tion were from northwest Ohio and all were murdered within the past decade .

\n

During the unveiling\, the silhouettes will be revealed one by o ne in a solemn ceremony. Each Silent Witness will be represented by an ind ividual reader\, who will recount the story of the girl or woman represent ed by that figure.
