Million Women Rise (MWR) is a women-only march and rally against violence against women, held annually in London on a Saturday close to International Women's Day, 8 March. The march starts in Hyde Park and moves through Oxford Street in the famous West End shopping district, stopping traffic. It is followed by a rally in Trafalgar Square, with survivors of violence speaking to the crowd. OUR REALITY IN THE UK TODAY: One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her life. Two women are murdered every week by their partner or ex partner.
