"A billion abused women in the world is an atrocity" a slogan that has been fixed since the beginning of the campaign "One Billion Rising" movement VDAY. VDay movement is convinced that on February 14 this year, at least one million men and women will be present at this event. Evidence on different types of violence experienced by women will be given by the participants and volunteers eager to say NO to violence. On 23 January, the VDay movement recently held a conference to debate the city of joy to Panzi. Participants exchanged on why say NO to violence in many place of women. One billion Rising campaign started months ago in several countries of the world. Men and women who fight for women's dignity protest against this evil that eats the entire society. February 14 is the deadline. Stage of Kamagema panzi in Bukavu will drop point where one billion people are expected. As a prelude to the 14th February, the men and women present at the conference on 23 January were expressed and explained why they too will revolt. Some were comfortable giving their testimonies about different types of violence experienced by women and the other could not restrain their anger. A report published by the United Nations says one in three women will be abused in the world.
