For the three of us, it truly was a way to connect with women in Darfur. We talked about what they would be doing today. Their day would have been a repeat of the last Thursday in November for the past five years – uncertainty, insecurity and unparalleled fear of being sexually violated while taking a routine walk to collect firewood. We agreed that lighting a candle would be one of 16 actions that we’ll all take over the next 16 days. We hope you’ll join us.
