I have had the honor of helping organize the 1 Billion Rising event in Barcelona, Thursday February 14th from 7 to 9 pm. We will be dancing and singing and celebrating that the time has come for women to stop living in fear of rape and violence.
I am rising because I know too many women that live with the scars of such abuse. I'm rising because I want to live in a world where girls have the same right to attend school as boys, where women feel safe to dress as they like and be out as late as they want without fear.
Below is a message by Eve Ensler, founder of this global event. For more information and to find an event near you visit http://onebillionrising.org/
