Every Sunday morning at 10am women and men meet outside the Forum in Norwich to rehearse a dance piece that is designed for the 14th Feb 2013 at 1pm outside the Forum. All over the world on the same dat, people will be doing the same dance to end violence against women. One billion women on the planet have been subjected to violence and we now want it to stop!
After the dance we have a cup of hot chocolate or coffee and chat at the Marzano's cafe.
The event in Norwich has been organised by Shelly Telly and she has made a film trailer of us all dancing. I took a photo that is in the EDP today.

Dancers braved the cold to practise for an upcoming local event supporting the One Billion Rising international campaign at the weekend.
Norwich Pride is still looking for people to take part
in the event, which aims to raise awareness of violence
against women and hopes to get one billion women,
and those who love them, to dance on February 14.

women – will be raped or violently assaulted in her
lifetime.
