Rise and dance with us on February 14 to protest gender-based violence. We will get together with Hanka Kynychová at 3:00 p.m. at Palacký Square in Prague.

We are joining the global campaign One Billion Rising, the biggest mass action to end violence against women in human history. Every year on Valentine's Day, millions of people dance the same dance all over the world to draw attention to the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. Join us and express solidarity with women who are threatened by violence.

Join the group dance on February 14, 2017 at 3:00 pm. at Palacký Square in Prague. Come a little earlier so we can start dancing by 3:00. The event will take 30 minutes.
