BILLION WOMEN DANCING IS A REVOLUTION
On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, 2.14.13, we are
inviting ONE BILLION women and those who love them to WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP,
and DEMAND an end to this violence. ONE BILLION RISING will move the earth,
activating women and men across every country. V-Day wants the world to see our
collective strength, our numbers, our solidarity across borders.
What does ONE
BILLION look like? On February 14th, 2013, it will look like a REVOLUTION.
ONE
BILLION RISING IS:
A global strike
An invitation to
dance
A call to men and
women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture
ends
An act of
solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their
power in numbers
A refusal to
accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a
new way of being
