Risings are continuing – in countries across the world – from International Women’s Day on March 8th through Earth Day on April 22nd. March, Women’s History Month, honors the struggles and achievements of women and gender-expansive people, while April, Earth Month, highlights the link between environmental destruction, economic violence, and gender-based violence. Below is a calendar of events taking place in March and April.
RISE with us. Stage an artistic rising/event in your city/town/university highlighting the most pressing issues, visit onebillionrising.org and check out the OBR blog for inspiration from global coordinators around the world, new activist toolkit and video.
One Billion Rising is the largest global campaign to stop violence against women, girls, gender expansive people, and the Earth. One Billion Rising has become a movement of yearly radical artistic risings around the world to confront all oppressive systems that intersect with gender-based violence, including patriarchy, imperialism, capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, war, and violence to our earth.
