SHILLONG: The North East Network, Shillong observed the One Billion Rising Campaign through dance, drums and songs on Feb 14.
According to the data issued by the United Nations, one billion women are subject to violence in the world. An American playwright and activist Eve Ensler gave a call in 2012 for one billion people to rise against violence and demanded an end to violence against women.
February 14, 2013 was chosen as the symbolic day to spread the message of love and create peaceful homes, and to make all public spaces free of violence.
Since then, nearly 200 countries have joined the OBR movement.
A flash mob was organized at Khyndailad on the occasion by young dancers from the organisation ILead.
A movie screening, photo campaign and signature campaign was organized by NEN at the State Convention Centre attended by people from all walks of life.
