Many people in the world celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14, but for many this day also highlights the violence against women. Every year the "Society Without Violence" NGO organizes events to raise the public’s awareness of this.

The "Society Without Violence"NGO on February 14, 2018, and in 2014 and 2016, joined the One Billion Rising campaign.

One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end the violence against women in human history. The campaign, launched on Valentine’s Day in 2012, began as a call to action based on the UN statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet is beaten or raped during her lifetime.

This year's action took place at Charles Aznavour square, near Moscow Cinema. A group of girls tried to break the chain of silence with a flash mob dance. During the event, different booklets and leaflets were distributed to people passing by. The flashmob's goal was to call on all women and girls to be brave, determined, and unafraid to fight for their rights.
