Mounting movement

Nuns, teachers, and students from the Benedictine-run St. Scholastica’s College in Manila gesture with a ‘number one’ sign as they participate in the ‘One Billion Rising’ global movement as part of the school’s Valentine’s Day celebrations. The movement, started in 2012,  aims to end rape and sexual violence against women, the ‘billion’ referring to UN figures that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, or about one billion.
