RFE/RL colleagues joined the Czech Women’s Lobby in Prague and millions of participants around the world to raise awareness about violence against women on February 14 as part of the One Billion Rising campaign. Volunteers gathered at Prague’s Vaclav Havel Square to dance with over 200 countries in solidarity to end violence against women and girls. The campaign, now in its seventh year, takes its name from the alarming figure of one in three women who will be raped or assaulted in her lifetime, adding up to one billion women.
