Violence against women: help us build a global picture

Violence against women: help us build a global picture
31.01.2014 10:00
On 14 February the One Billion Rising campaign is calling on women and men to rise up and demand an end to violence against women. It’s estimated that one in three women will be beaten or raped in her lifetime – that’s 1 billion women. This year’s campaign is calling for justice for survivors of gender violence.

As part of our coverage around One Billion Rising we want you to help us build a global picture of violence against women. Is it something you’ve experienced? Either as a woman, or a man. Or do you know someone who has? Why do you think it happens? What do you think are the underlying causes of violence against women, globally or in your community?What about the solutions. Have you been involved in a campaign or initiative to prevent violence against women? Tell us why it works. Do you have an idea for a campaign you’d like to get off the ground?
