Empty Nest Expat: #1billionrising rising in Turkey

Sarai Sierra's death brings reflection at the vast epidemic of violence against women globally. Global activist Eve Ensler is asking all of us, women - and especially the men who love them, to strike, rise, and dance, rising up to demand an end to the routine daily violence against women. Have you ever heard of anyone trying to do that before?
