Bangkok Rising is a group of women and men committed to projects and a community that promotes awareness about equality for men and women in Thailand and the elimination of violence against women and girls. Bangkok Rising grew out of Eve Ensler's Vday movement One Billion Rising and theater piece A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer. Specifically, these events focused on ending violence against women and children. Members participate in everything from weekly meet ups to annual events based on their choice level of involvement.
