One Billion Rising is a global campaign by women, for women. The movement calls for an end to violence, and for justice and gender equality.
On Valentine’s Day, we learned how we can create change through self expression, surviving abuse, growing self-esteem, raising our children nonviolently, developing and supporting community resources.
