V-Day: One billion 'rising' against women abuse.
One in three - more than one billion - women and girls on the planet are beaten or raped during their lifetime.

The day of foot-stomping, flash-mobbing and booty-shaking all across the world will not, in fact, end violence against women. It won’t stop men of the cloth from molesting children, the Taliban from shooting little girls who want an education, or boyfriends from raping their girlfriends. But what it does is help all of us tell a new story about what’s possible. It creates connections across demographic and organisational difference, a shared experience and set of memories, an undeniable visual and visceral demonstration of our collective outrage. It gives us somewhere to place our intolerance for what happened in New Delhi and Steubenville and so many places just like it that never made the headlines.
