One Billion Rising February 18 2017
Around 40 women (and men) supported the One Billion Rising 2017 event in Bury St Edmunds, making a stand against violence against women.
One Billion Rising (OBR) is an international campaign, with demonstrations around the world taking place on or around Valentine’s Day to underline the irony of the fact that it is often within supposedly loving relationships that violence takes place.
