Michelle Jewsbury
Over 20,000 women have been murdered by men due to domestic
violence since 2003. Unsilenced Voices founder Michelle
Jewsbury nearly became one of those women. For years, Michelle
was trapped in the domestic abuse cycle. She walked on
eggshells around her partner, suffered his violent blow ups, and
tried to believe his apologies. Instead of being accountable, her
abuser worked to keep Michelle isolated and silent. In December,
2015 she summoned the strength to break that cycle, leave her
abuser, and share her story. Now, Michelle works to combat
domestic and gender-based violence on a global scale as the
founder and CEO of Unsilenced Voices.
