Silence as violence and abuse:

Examples:

█ People who have power and chosen responsibility but misuse their position or don't fulfil it staying silent when they know of the wrong for waay too loong and don't help improve things also.

█ Those who represent / speak for others, but choose not to put themselves at risk and leave others waiting in vain.

█ People who avoiding answering the truth and further cover up things, not only by not being transparent (or even saying why not transparency) but even adding layers.

█ Self-denial or feeling of shame which becomes hidden violence, even after self fear, it becomes negligent over time and lying to themselves or others as abusive stakes only get higher. Negligence.

█ We all have power and I think we all abuse it when deliberately being non-players... like taking away each others voice in order for it not happen or effect us.
