It Happens Here is a powerful survivor-led video created by voices from Dufferin County and Caledon to confront the myth that domestic violence only happens somewhere else.
Through personal testimony and reflection, survivors reveal how abuse can exist behind the doors of seemingly peaceful homes, in small towns, rural roads, and tight-knit communities.
The video highlights the hidden realities of coercive control, isolation, and stigma while emphasizing the strength, resilience, and courage of survivors.
It Happens Here calls on communities to believe survivors, challenge victim-blaming, and work together to bring abuse out of silence and into the light.
