On Friday, February 12, 2016, the NEVR (Network to Eliminate Violence in Relationships) committee will join with activists all around the world to host a One Billion Rising Revolution rally in Delta. The event will take place from 1pm to 3pm at the Firehall Centre for the Arts at 11489 84th Avenue in North Delta.
The One Billion Rising Campaign began as a call to action based on the staggering UN statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be physically, sexually, emotionally, psychologically and/or financially abused during her lifetime. That is one billion women. One Billion Rising aims to make violence against women a global human issue not relegated to country or tribe or class or religion. One Billion Rising is the beginning of the new world where women and girls are free from violence. It is not a day, it is a REVOLUTION.
