The statistics are staggering: one in three women — that’s one billion worldwide — will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. The plan? To fight stats with stats. One Billion Rising is a worldwide movement that aims to have an equal number of people join together to stand up against the violence on V Day, Thursday, February 14. Local women’s support center Elizabeth’s House is joining the effort by hosting a Day of Dance to “Break The Chain,” choreographed to the song of the same name and assembling women’s rights advocates to turn motion into action.
From 12-3pm at Elizabeth’s House, 3837 Secor Rd. 419-356-5544. elizabethshousetoledo.com. —AO
