Nigerian
based NGO ‘Project Alert Violence Against Women’ has just kicked off the
#BreakTheCycle campaign to raise awareness on the effects of domestic violence
on young children. In these haunting videos, children are captured
internalizing and adapting to the horrors they witness in a household with
domestic violence.
“Domestic
violence has a huge impact on children who live in such toxic environments. The
environment is tense, unpredictable and often dominated by the fear of what
would happen to themselves, their mother and siblings. Children who live in
such homes suffer physical, psychological and emotional trauma,” explained
Josephine Effah Chukwuma, Executive Director, Project Alert Violence Against
Women in a statement.
Children
