February 14th - One Billion Rising: Day of Action on Violence Against Women

One in Three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. One billion women violated is an atrocity. One billion women dancing is a revolution

On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, 14 February 2013, we are inviting one billion women and those who love them to walk out, 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 Rising look like? On 14 February 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
