One Billion Rising / V-Day: tomorrow we rise

Tomorrow, 14th February we rise.

And tonight I took some time to reflect. On the friends who have supported me in my dark times, on the friends I have supported, on those I have loved, love now, and who have loved and love me.

I also reflected on the shits I have known who are little more than scum (thankfully these have been in the minority) and on why, tomorrow, I am rising and what I personally can do to stop the violence against women and girls.

It is going to be an incredible, memorable day when elders, middles, youngsters and children - male and female - gather in celebration and determination all over the world.

I am so proud to be a woman.

My love to you all.
