SECOND LIFE® RESIDENTS JOIN GLOBAL CAMPAIGN “ONE BILLION RISING” TO STOP
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS
February 14, 2013 to be V-Day’s Largest Day of Action Ever
On February 14,
2013, for 24 hours starting at midnight Pacific Standard Time, Second Life
residents will join with activists around the world in a spectacular 24-hour
dance event for ONE BILLION RISING, the largest day of action in the history of
V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.
ONE BILLION RISING
began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women
on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world
population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS.
On February 14, 2013, men and women in Second Life will join activists,
writers, thinkers, celebrities, and people across the world to Walk, Dance, and
Rise as a show of unity, individual strength, and the need for change.
