And still, we rise!

THE VICTIMS OF RAPE HAVE MANY FACES.

Recent studies show that rape is still all
too prevalent. Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes. By the
age of 18, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be victimized.

Strike. Dance. Rise.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Mark your calendars and join One Billion Rising on February 14, 2013 as we rise to protest violence against women around the world. Local efforts are underway and more details will follow; in the meantime, learn more about why I’m rising HERE.
