About The Event
One Billion Rising is a mass action to end violence against women. The global campaign was started on Valentine's Day in 2012 as a call to action to rise against violence towards women.
The 'Billion' refers to the UN statistic that one in three women will be abuse in her lifetime, or about one billion. This year the theme of One Billion Rising around the world is Rise for Freedom persistent intensification of violence – on-going rape, hate, exclusion, killing, discrimination, exploitation, abuse, wars, division, occupation and control for an inclusive world.
