Gransnet is supporting One Billion Rising, a global movement protesting against violence against women. (Thank you to those gransnetters who called on us to do this!)
In this country, the campaign has been led by Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow. We're delighted that she's agreed to come in for a live webchat on Wednesday to talk about the issue - the one billion women who will be raped or beaten in their lifetime - and what a billion of us can do to protest on Thursday.
Stella is a rising star of the Labour Party and the shadow minister with responsibility for violence against women. She recently ran a highly successful campaign against payday loans.
