The WHY Event—powerful survivor stories told through drama, dance, spoken word & song. Sponsored by Care Never Sleeps.
About this Event

The WHY Event is a powerful, survivor-led production that answers the important question: “Why do they stay?” in abusive relationships. Through an emotional blend of drama, dance, spoken word, singing and real testimony, the show brings to life the hidden experiences of those who have lived through domestic abuse. Each piece challenges stereotypes, deepens understanding, and offers insight into the complex realities victims face.


This special event features guest speaker Natalie Queiroz MBE, who shares her remarkable story of survival and hope. Created by OutKast Productions CIC, The WHY Event offers both awareness and education, making it impactful for professionals, survivors, students and anyone wanting to better understand domestic abuse.


Raw, moving and unforgettable — this production encourages compassion, empowers survivors, and sparks the conversations that truly matter. All made possible by our sponsors, Care Never Sleeps Ltd Birmingham, which we are grateful for the partnership.
