People gathered to watch a screening of "Sin by Silence."

Its about a group of women inmates called the Convicted Women Against Abuse.

In the film, they expose misconceptions about domestic violence, the lack of options available to women and how it affects all of us.

The film is one of many events for the YWCA's Week Without Violence.

Wednesday, there's a march and rally starting at the YWCA at noon and ending at Blue Cross Blue Shield.

There is also a relationship ready seminar so parents and teens can learn how to talk about violence in relationships.

The seminar is at Royal Valley High School from 6 to 8 p.m.
