A campaign to end violence against women and girls will be held on two fronts Thursday in Lunenburg County. Second Story Women's Centre is promoting 'One Billion Rising', a global day of awareness for people to demand change, dance and rise in defiance of the injustices women suffer. The movement serves as a call to action based on the statistic that one in three women will be beaten or raped in their life. Board of Directors member, Helen Lanthier, says they hope the day will make a difference.
The towns of Bridgewater and Lunenburg have both proclaimed Thursday as a day of awareness and action regarding violence against women. The public is invited to attend events in those areas beginning at 10am at the Lunenburg Community Centre or 12:30pm at the Bridgewater Public Library.
