11:20Now PlayingA movement is growing worldwide to stop violence against women and girls. One Billion Rising for Justice will take place on February 14, Valentine's Day, in more than 200 countries worldwide, focusing on the issue of justice for all survivors of gender violence and the impunity that protects perpetrators all over the world. The One Billion Rising and VDay campaigns were launched by playwright Eve Ensler, creator of "The Vagina Monologues," and highlights the startling statistic that one in every three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. We speak to Eve Ensler and Kimberlé Crenshaw, cofounder of the African American Policy Forum. "Women are putting their bodies at the site where vulnerabilities intersect," Crenshaw says. "By that I mean, where vulnerability to gender violence, vulnerability to economic exploitation, vulnerability to the drug war all these things come together to create unique risk, many times risks that poor women, marginalized women, women of color face."
