About The Organization
One Billion Rising UK
The largest global movement to end violence against women and children, One Billion Rising, is launching its third year by mobilizing thousands of people throughout the UK for a Day of Action on Saturday, 14th February.
The One Billion Rising: Revolution campaign is highlighting the scale of sexual exploitation in the UK and calling for a radical shift to end the epidemic of abuse towards women and children, urging communities to step up and protect their children and the next Parliament to take the issue more seriously. One in twenty children under eighteen are sexually abused in the UK, ninety per cent by someone they know.
With the tagline, ‘Drum, dance and rise’, UK politicians, performers, survivors of abuse, and people of all ages who want to end sexual violence towards women and children, will join hundreds of countries around the world on the same day through a combination of artistic events, community-based initiatives and rallies.
