Today we observe V Day, ending violence against women and girls worldwide. Rising Gardens is

the theme this year, highlighting the connection between the treatment of women and girls, and the destruction of our planet under patriarchy.

Because of the pandemic, there are no large observances across the globe this year. You can see what is going on by going to www.vday.org, and www.onebillionrising.org (OneBillionRising is a reference to the one in three women and girls worldwide who experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetimes.)
