One Billion Rising

Apologies if this has been mentioned before. It's a massive coming together of women to protest against worldwide violence against women on Feb 14th. Anyone taking part?

No apologies needed - first I've heard of it, so thank you.

Be aware that some of them appear not to be on 14th - London is 4th!?! and Brighton is 16th

Hi tall - hope you and your family are ok. Please say hi to them.

I am going to have a look where they all are and will try to get to one or more if poss!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks for pointing that out GiveMe. Hi MrsClown. Nice to hear from you. There'll definitely be something happening in Newcastle if you fancy another trip up...

Thanks for posting this - it's really interesting.

I'll be at my local one on the 14th.

Ironically, it's also the date I started dating my abuser... Will be there, and reflecting heavily on that fact.

Hoping to go to the Brighton one which is on the 16th, but it's coming up for me on the website as tbc, so I'm hoping that something goes ahead, if not I guess the Guildford one will be the next nearest. Am also taking DD(14) and DH, I think.

This is great - it would be cool for mn to spread the word - go to your local sites netmums even- and to have a healthy mn turn out

[MrsClown1]

Is anyone else going. I am definitely going to the one in Sheffield - as is my husband, which is on 14 Feb. Anyone else going - PLEASE GO anyone who can. Find your nearest one and go. I feel so strongly about this I cant explain it. We can sit talking on Mumsnet till the bloody cows come home but we have to get involved. Sorry to be so blunt. Im taking the day off work

GiveMe, London on the 4th looks like a misprint for 14th - does anyone know for sure?

[TheDoctrineOfSnatch]

Ignore last post, you were right GiveMe!

[tallwivglasses]

Too right MrsC. Anyone in Newcastle or Durham things are definitely happening - pm me for details.
