They’ve never met.
Different languages.
Different countries.
Different customs.
But somehow—
they all agree.
There is a global agreement.
It’s not written in laws (though some laws reflect it).
It’s not taught in schools (though some schools enforce it).
It is whispered in courtrooms, echoed in living rooms, reinforced in boardrooms, and passed down in bedrooms.
The agreement is simple:
Protect the abuser. Silence the victim.
They Agree in Different Tongues, But the Message Is the Same
In the United States, she’s told, “Don’t ruin his life.”
In India, she’s told, “What will the neighbors say?”
In Nigeria, “You must forgive and forget.”
In Brazil, “That’s just how men are.”
In South Korea, “Don’t bring shame to the family.”
In the UK, “You’re being hysterical.”
In South Africa, “This is a private matter.”
Different words.
Same result.
The victim becomes the problem.
A Multinational Code of Silence
This global agreement is maintained by:
Mothers who teach girls to keep quiet to stay safe.
Religious leaders who preach forgiveness before protection.
Employers who look the other way.
- Prevention labeled as “projection”, “victimhood” or “bigotry”.
Celebrities who glamorize violence, abuse, and unwellness.
Lawmakers who delay justice until it dies of exhaustion.
- Basterdized versions of “inclusion” and “kindness” that coerce and/or bully vulnerable populations to prioritize predatory individuals into their communities without question.
Friends who don’t want to “take sides.”
The Currency of Harm Is Familiar
No matter where you are on the map, the price of speaking up looks eerily similar:
Reputations destroyed.
Custody lost.
Careers derailed.
Community exile.
Threats.
Gaslighting.
Violence.
It’s not a coincidence.
It’s a system.
It’s a code.
It’s an agreement.
And it’s passed around like folklore:
“Don’t speak.”
“Don’t fight.”
“Don’t make things worse.”
But Some Victims Know the Truth
Survivors across the globe have never met either.
But we know each other.
We know the shaking voice.
The cautious eyes.
The grief that never had space to land.
And we too are forming a new kind of agreement.
A sacred one.
A healing one.
A protective one.
A truth-telling one.
🌍 Breaking the Global Agreement
We don’t whisper harm.
We speak healing.
We don’t protect abusers.
We protect Survivors.
We don’t demand silence.
We demand justice, restoration, and transformation.
So no, we won’t keep their secrets.
We won’t pretend their global system of harm is just “the way things are.”
We are breaking the silence from continent to continent, village to city, home to courtroom.

For every Survivor who speaks truth into a world trained to ignore it:
We hear you.
We believe you.
We’re building a new agreement—one where you are the priority.
