DANCE TODAY TO
PROTEST VIOLENCE
AGAINST WOMEN
Paul Taylor Dance Company
From the web
By Nancy Condit

Today, February 14th, Valentine's Day, is the world wide day to raise awareness that
ONE in THREE WOMEN WORLD WIDE will be RAPED or ABUSED in their lifetime
[stats from the 2003 UNIFEM report entitled "Not A Minute More: Ending Violence Against Women," or 2008, the UNITE To End Violence Against Women Campaign, initiated by UN Secretary-General's Office].

Dance by yourself, dance in your home, with another, with others in your office, or outside on this
lovely 62 degree day. The UN will be outside on the plaza dancing with you. UCO has an event scheduled at 2 pm.

Thanks to actress Anne Hathaway on the Jay Leno Show for bringing this to my attention.
