DESCRIPTION:In Celebration of International Women’s Day, protest to \n\nStop Violence 
 Against Women Everywhere!\n\nSF March and Rally: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 
 12 noon, Dolores Park\n\nOn March 8th and 9th, in celebration of 
 International Women's Day, women across the United States and around the 
 world will take the streets to demand an end to violence against women. 
 From India to Ohio, people are rising up to demand equality and an end to 
 the violent oppression of women.\n\nIn the United States and elsewhere, 
 violence against women is tolerated and often condoned. 1.3 million women 
 are raped every year and one in four experiences violence at the hands of a 
 current or former intimate partner. Many acts of rape and violence go 
 unreported. When women do report rape, only 37% of cases are prosecuted, 
 and just 18% of those cases end in conviction. \n\nThe violence, 
 objectification and inequality women are subjected to at home, at work, at 
 school and wherever we go is often dismissed as "just the way it is." We 
 know better. Rampant sexual violence is not the natural state of things. 
 Women's oppression and the violence and discrimination we face are the 
 result of a system that relies on patriarchy, institutionalized sexism, and 
 the objectification of women's bodies for profit.\n\nViolence against women 
 is not normal; It is not acceptable. Women and our allies in the struggle 
 for justice will no longer tolerate it. The time is now to rise up and 
 demand an end to violence against women in all forms. There will be 
 demonstrations and protests throughout the United States on March 8th and 
 9th to say: Stop Violence Against Women Everywhere – The Status Quo Must 
 Go!\n\nLet's build a women's spring!\n\nWORD: Women Organized to Resist and 
 Defend\nwww.defendwomensrights.org / sf@defendwomensrights.org /
