About The Event

This V-day, come be part of a much needed "social intervention" against 50 Shades of Grey. Across the planet on Feb. 14th, people will take stand against violence against women.

Around the world: An epidemic of rape, gang-rape, "date" rape, rape porn, rape culture, is on the rise.

All this, along with sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, and sexual stigma teach women “their place.” The women of the world are already wearing the blood-soaked ropes and chains of patriarchy - so let’s break them off, not slap new ones on!
