Why she speaks about it

Charlize explains she has spoken openly about the incident so others don’t feel alone, noting such situations are sadly common and often dismissed. She says she no longer feels haunted by the event and wants the conversation to help survivors feel seen.

From trauma to advocacy

The actress has worked on domestic‑violence initiatives, including the 2020 Together For Her campaign and her role as a 2008 United Nations Messenger of Peace focused on ending violence against women.
