A movement is growing worldwide to stop violence against women and girls. One Billion Rising for Justice will take place on February 14, Valentine's Day, in more than 200 countries worldwide, focusing on the issue of justice for all survivors of gender violence and the impunity that protects perpetrators all over the world.
