Flash mob to call for end to violence against women

A "flash mob" dance will break out at noon Thursday, Feb. 11, in the main lobbies of Oakton Community College's campuses in Des Plaines and Skokie to call for an end to violence against women, officials said.

It's part of One Billion Rising, a mass action coordinated by V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. Approximately 6,000 V-Day events are held annually around the world.

As part of V-Day, Oakton will host three performances of "The Vagina Monologues," Feb. 12-14 at the Studio One Theater on the Des Plaines campus.
