One in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, that makes one billion women. Read about Kiss FM‘s Adelle Onyango‘s rape ordeal here. In Nairobi, a dance and activism event by COVAW (Coalition On Violence Against Women) has been organized to raise awareness about this statistic. Rise and join the initiative on a music and dance event.
