Lesson Overview

10.94 – Safety Strategies When You Can’t Speak Freely: Situations of surveillance or control demand creativity. Establish non-verbal communication systems like hand signals, safe emojis, or coded language with trusted contacts. Practice short neutral phrases that signal distress without alerting observers. Keep emergency contacts labeled discreetly under generic names. Memorize important numbers in case devices are confiscated. Create opportunities to access privacy—even brief bathroom trips can serve to text or signal. Plan escape routes ahead of time using everyday routines as cover. Technology can help: pre-scheduled check-in messages or safety apps alert others if missed. When silence is survival, preparation becomes voice. Document signs of control privately once safe, as evidence aids advocacy later. Knowing you have hidden channels of outreach restores hope. Strength isn’t always loud; sometimes, it’s the silent architecture of resilience built beneath watchful eyes, waiting for the right moment to act and reclaim freedom.
