#HearMeToo
#HearMeTo is the theme of 2018 Orange The World. Of course, as every year, the launch date is 25.11/16. The event will last 10 days and will end on December XNUMX, which is International Human Rights Day. During this time, numerous public events are organized. Their goal is to stimulate people to act and constantly make people aware of the large scale of the problem. Additionally, these events are meant to make women aware of this situation, and for some reason they are afraid to admit that they are not alone. Anyone can take part in the action. If we are unable to attend an event in person, we can show our solidarity on social media by adding a photo of ourselves with #OrangeUrWorld, #OrangeTheWorld, #HearMeToo, #EndVAW and with the word STOP on the hand.
