One Billion Rising For A World Of Justice
ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE is a call to women, men, and youth around the world to gather safely on 14 February 2014 outside places where they are entitled to justice – court houses, police stations, government offices, school administration buildings, work places, sites of environmental injustice, military courts, embassies, places of worship, homes, or simply public gathering places where women deserve to feel safe but too often do not. Last year One Billion Rising was a “catalyst and a wind.” This year, come dance again. Come sing. Come imagine. And, come to reconfigure and begin to restructure the world with stronger winds. We are doing it for ourselves, and everyone.
2013 was the biggest mass global action to end violence against women and girls in the history of humankind. The further intersectional and coalitional commitments for justice of this new mobilization in 2014 are limitless in their radical effect. Ending violence against women just might be the truly revolutionary demand, for us all.
