In depths of shadows, stories unfold,
Whispers of anguish that must be told.
A call to arms against violence's reign,
To break the silence, let truth reclaim.

Gender-based violence, a haunting reality,
Aching wounds hidden beneath veils of neutrality.
But the time has come, voices must rise,
Unleashing strength, piercing through the lies.

Survivors emerge from the depths of despair,
Their tales of resilience, the weight they bear.
Through tear-stained verses, they find release,
Their stories empower, bringing forth peace.

Let empathy flourish, like a gentle breeze,
Nurturing hearts, soothing wounded pleas.
For in compassion's embrace, healing takes flight,
Shattering darkness, illuminating with might.

Understanding weaves a tapestry of care,
Erasing judgments, replacing with love's tender glare.
No longer confined by society's chain,
Together we rise, the culture we'll reclaim.

Accountability beckons, its call resounds,
No space for silence, where injustice abounds.
We hold each other, both gentle and firm,
Fighting for justice, in unison, we affirm.

Let courage be contagious, spreading wide,
The strength to stand tall, never to hide.
For united we stand, against violence's tide,
Speaking out boldly, with hearts open wide.

In the depths of despair, a flicker of hope,
Through shared narratives, we learn to cope.
Survivors, warriors, rising from the fray,
Their voices resounding, igniting the way.

No longer silenced by fear's iron grip,
They reclaim their power, refuse to slip.
Their stories, like beacons, pierce the night,
Guiding others towards freedom's light.

For in their truth lies a force untamed,
A call to action, a world unashamed.
To dismantle the systems that perpetuate harm,
And create a future, safe and warm.

We weave a tapestry, diverse and strong,
Where empathy triumphs, where rights belong.
No longer bystanders, we lend our ear,
Together we'll silence the oppressor's jeer.

Empathy blossoms, a seed in each heart,
Nurtured by kindness, tearing prejudice apart.
For in the face of violence, love is the key,
To heal the wounds and set survivors free.

Accountability looms, demanding its due,
No longer excusing the actions we once knew.
We hold ourselves, and others, to a higher ground,
With justice as our compass, profound.

So let us raise our voices, unyielding and clear,
Spreading awareness, dispelling the fear.
For by breaking the silence, we make a stand,
Creating a world where peace will expand.

Together, we'll forge a future anew,
Where empathy and understanding break through.
A culture transformed, where all can thrive,
Where survivors' stories help us survive.

In the depths of the darkness, stories reclaim,
Whispers of strength, overcoming the pain.
Each survivor's voice, a beacon of light,
Guiding others towards a future so bright.

We break the chains that silence can bind,
Encouraging courage, opening minds.
With empathy as armor, we stand strong,
A chorus of resilience, echoing on.

No longer confined to the shadows, unseen,
We share our stories, shattered but keen.
Promoting understanding, erasing blame,
Creating a culture where survivors reclaim.

For empathy blooms in hearts that care,
Spreading compassion, showing we're aware.
Together we forge a path of healing and grace,
Supporting survivors, every step we embrace.

Accountability speaks, demanding a change,
No room for excuses, no tolerance for range.
We hold perpetrators to answer their deeds,
Building a future where justice succeeds.

So let us continue, steadfast and true,
To amplify voices, in all that we do.
With empathy, understanding, and love,
We empower survivors, their spirits rise above.

Breaking the silence, we find unity's song,
Promoting a culture where empathy belongs.
For in sharing our stories, we plant the seed,
Of a world free from violence, where all hearts can be freed.

So let us persist, with unwavering might,
Shattering silence, igniting the fight.
Together we'll rise, like a resounding tide,
Speaking out against gender-based violence, side by side.
