The One Billion Rising campaign, which started as a call to end violence against women and girls, has evolved into a movement against systemic injustices, including corruption, which disproportionately affects marginalized communities. Women leaders in governance must take a stand—not only for gender equality but also for accountability and transparency in public service.” – Gabriela Women’s Party
