About:
One Billion Rising began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s one billion women and girls.
This is why we RISE.
One Billion Rising is the world's largest movement to end violence against
women, gender-expansive people, and the Earth. Since 2013, activists in over 200 countries have risen through art to express hope and community, change culture and laws, and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence.
We create communities of solidarity around the globe. We rise to show the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face.
We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable.
We rise to amplify the transformative power of creative resistance, artistic risings, and global solidarity all the while addressing the devastating consequences of the systems of patriarchy, racism, imperialism, and capitalism.
We rise to reclaim our bodies and the body of the Earth.
Led by a community of over 45 OBR coordinators around the globe and determined by local activists and their communities.
Every year from February to April we take to the streets, stages and schools in acts of creative resistance embracing art as our voice.
Rising are dance, music, theatre, poetry, painting, storytelling, drumming, rituals, connection with nature.
Risings are intersectional, experiential, intergenerational, accessible, community-based, youth-led, inclusive, diverse.
Risings are expressions of rage and resistance, gardens of creativity and compassion, alchemies of connection and imagination, and revolutions of body and spirit.
