Join the White Ribbon Run to fight against gender-based violence

'Break the Silence, End the Violence' is the theme of the White Ribbon Run, says AWAM deputy president Ng.

As a child, Myra grew up in a home where there was domestic violence, but she thought it was "normal".

"I never realised that other families functioned very differently from my family. The atmosphere at home was usually very harsh and tense. I thought this was 'normal' as I had never been to anyone else's home before. But when I was 18, I had a boyfriend (now my husband) and when I went to his home, I was so amazed and astonished because there was love and acceptance, it's so different from my home," she says.
