One in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.
One billion women violated is an atrocity.
One billion women dancing is a revolution.
On February 14, 2013, one billion women from around the world and those who love them, will walk out, dance, rise up and demand an end to violence.
One Billion Rising
will move the earth, activating women and men across every country. We invite you to show the world our collective strength, our numbers, and our solidarity across borders by joining a One Billion Rising event in your community.
