This year's Silent Witness March, scheduled to take place on Saturday 18th October 2008 takes on an urgent and special meaning in light of the recent brutal murder of Caymanian anti-abuse and sexual violence advocate, Estella Scott-Roberts. Each year the Business and Professional Women's Club holds the Silent Witness March starting promptly at 12:30 and ending at 1:30pm. The march begins at the Government Admin. Building, passing by the Immigration building, the Central Police Station, and the Courts Office and ending on the steps of the Legislative Assemble for a brief ceremony.
 
The solution was to speak out by creating 26 free-standing life-sized red wooden figures bearing the name of a woman who once lived among them whose life had been violently ended at the hands of an ex-husband, partner, or acquaintance. The Silent Witness March originated in the United States in 1990 as a reaction by women artists and writers to the growing number of victims of domestic violence they noticed in their small town in Minnesota. A 27th figure was added to represent those countless women whose murders went unsolved or were erroneously ruled accidental. The organizers called the figures the Silent Witnesses, which were escorted along with 500 other women who showed up for that first silent procession on 18th October. Mission Statement. Promote peace, healing and responsibility in adult relationships in order to eliminate domestic murders by the year 2010. Vision Promote successful community-based domestic violence reduction efforts in order to reach zero domestic murders by 2010.
