February 14, 2013 – Segment 1
It’s February 14th – Valentine’s Day. An international movement is using this day to divert attention away from Hallmark cards and to the realities of women and girls worldwide. One Billion Rising, a coalition whose name comes from the statistic that one out of every three women is beaten or raped during her lifetime (amounting to one billion women and girls), is a movement demanding an end to violence against women.
We discuss the movement with:
- Jacq Jones, owner of Sugar and sex educator;
- Andrea Plaid, Associate Editor at Racialicious, an award-winning blog about race and popular culture;
- Mothyna James-Brightful, Visionary Director for Heal A Woman Heal A Nation;
- and Rebecca Nagle, member of FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture.
