I am inviting you to participate in this global event ONE BILLION RISING, a revolutionary campaign to end violence against women and girls. I invite you to join me in forcing global attention upon the epidemic of gender-based violence.
I myself am one of the 1 in 3 women that has encountered abuse (here's a short article if you're not aware of my experience: http://bit.ly/Ra5eUR).
I am part of the revolution of women and men who will WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP, and DEMAND an end to violence against women and girls on FEBRUARY 14TH, 2013
ONE BILLION RISING is a global call to women and men across the planet to gather in their communities to dance and demand an end to violence against women and girls.
Right now, 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. V-Day, the global movement to end violence against women and girls, refuses to watch as more than one billion women experience violence.
ONE BILLION RISING is a promise that on February 14th, 2013, we will ensure that millions of women and men rise up around the world to say, "ENOUGH. The violence ends NOW."
Let's take a stand!
Let's stop the silence around this issue.
Let's speak up and end the violence!
Let's stop the silence around this issue.
Let's speak up and end the violence!
With love,
