Conspiracy of Silence
"Conspiracy of Silence" refers to a situation where individuals or groups deliberately choose not to speak about or acknowledge certain issues, often due to fear, shame, or social pressure. This phenomenon can occur in various contexts, including society, politics, and families, where uncomfortable truths are ignored to maintain harmony or avoid conflict.
The term is often associated with sensitive topics such as abuse, corruption, or mental health, where victims may feel isolated and unsupported. By remaining silent, the underlying problems persist, making it difficult for individuals to seek help or for communities to address critical issues effectively.
