VIDEO: 3 Minutes That’ll Horrify You, Then Make You Want To Dance

It’s an invitation to woman and men to put an end to the status quo, it’s an act of solidarity, and it’s a refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given. On Feb. 14, I’ll be dancing with a billion other people. Will you?
