Break the Silence III
About
In this Anthology, BREAK THE SILENCE VOLUME III, members of THE HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS LITERARY FORUM, of which Brenda Mohammed is the Founder, have raised their pens against the evils of human trafficking, drug addiction, and domestic violence.
Human trafficking is a serious crime that abuses people’s fundamental rights and dignity.
Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behaviour and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medicine.
Domestic abuse, also called “domestic violence” or “intimate partner violence”, can be defined as a pattern of behaviour in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner.
It is time to break the Silence and raise awareness of these deadly evils.
Poets from Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, Ghana, Iraq, India, Italy, Lebanon, Liberia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and the USA participated in this Anthology..

Praise for this book
BREAK THE SILENCE Volume III is not merely an anthology—it is a global outcry, a poetic uprising against the silent suffering inflicted by human trafficking, drug addiction, and domestic violence. Curated by the How to Write for Success Literary Forum under the visionary leadership of Brenda Mohammed, this volume gathers voices from across continents, cultures, and convictions to confront some of the darkest afflictions of our time- human trafficking, drug addiction, and domestic violence.
With contributors hailing from over 30 countries—including Algeria, Brazil, Finland, India, Liberia, Trinidad and Tobago, and the USA—the anthology is a testament to the universality of pain and the power of solidarity. Each poem is a candle lit in defiance of silence, illuminating the shadows where injustice thrives.
What sets BREAK THE SILENCE III apart is its fusion of artistry and advocacy. These are not abstract musings—they are calls to action. The poets wield their pens like swords, cutting through apathy and ignorance with lyrical precision. The emotional resonance is profound, yet the message is clear: silence is complicity, and awareness is the first step toward change.
As the Founder of the How to Write for Success Literary Forum, Brenda Mohammed continues to champion literature as a force for good. Her leadership has cultivated a space where writers are not only creators but crusaders—using their craft to heal, educate, and inspire.
