Happiest RISING New Year!

Published: 31 December 2013

With your generous support, V-Day ROSE to extraordinary heights in 2013!

Our call to take to the streets and STRIKE, RISE and DANCE was heard, and in over 207 countries, women and men gathered in the largest mass global action to say NO MORE – we are ONE BILLION and we demand an end to violence against women and girls.

We thank you from the depths of our hearts, we could not have done it without you. We wish you all a Happy, Joyous, Safe and Healthy New Year!

As we all gather this coming 14 February for One Billion Rising For Justice, may your stories be released and may violence against women and girls end!

On New Year’s Eve, One Billion Rising Director Monique Wilson has written a beautiful piece recapping her activist journey:

“Looking at the people, dancing and rising, led by the grassroots and marginalised women’s groups, was overwhelming. I saw, like a picture, every step of our thirteen year journey in their fierceness, in their courage, in their generosity and love of our women and our country – as well as in their joy and insistence on hope. Every tear, every challenge, every deepening of love and sisterhood had come to this moment…” continue reading >

If you’d like to send your own personal V-New Year Card to someone special, we’ll gladly send it for you.
