Skylar Snydewel Launches ‘Beyond Silence’

Miss Teen Namibia semi-finalist Skylar Snydewel is using her voice to stand up for those who feel unheard, unseen, and silenced.

Through her advocacy initiative, “Beyond Silence,” Skylar is focused on creating awareness around the realities many individuals face, whether it’s violence, harassment, or bullying that often goes unreported.

“Beyond Silence is dedicated to speaking up for those who feel unheard and unseen,” she shared.

Her message highlights a critical issue in Namibia: many people suffer in silence due to fear, intimidation, or the consequences of speaking out.

According to Skylar, one in three women in Namibia experience violence, while many cases remain unreported. In workplaces, nearly half of harassment incidents go unspoken, and in schools, countless young people face bullying without ever speaking up.

But for Skylar, these are more than just statistics.

“These are voices waiting to be heard,” she emphasized.

Through her advocacy, she aims to break that silence by creating safe spaces where individuals feel empowered, supported, and reminded that their voices matter.
