School girls form a human chain as they participate in a One Billion Rising rally in Dhaka, Bangladesh on February 14, 2013. The one-day event called for one billion women around the world to walk away from their homes, businesses, and jobs, and join together in a show of collective strength. The word 'billion' refers to the one billion women who are survivors of abuse. (Munir Uz Zaman/AFP/Getty Images)
