We're trying to get the whole world to rise...
we're trying to get 1 billion people worldwide...
to rise against violence against women and girls.
People have the opportunity to publicly support the topic of violence against women,
not only in the Czech Republic, but also, because of its worldwide impact,
the theme which each country chooses is made more visible.
This year we decided quite a specific issue to tackle and that's cyber violence.
Cyber violence is an incredibly underreported crime, not only in the Czech Republic but world wide.
It's really not getting enough attention at all.
In the last months there are many attacks
not only on the women as victims of violence but also on those people helping them.
I think many people are not aware of all the types and forms that violence can take
and they don't realize that all the people helping the victims might actually be threatened themselves.
We also hope that this might help to create some kind of pressure on our political representatives
to adopt new laws and guarantee more security for the victims of violence.
Ultimately it takes men to stop violence against women.
Men shouldn't be bad to women.
You should like them and make them happy.
If a man is mean to you, you should leave.
