11 Feb One Billion Rising 2022 Events Listing
One Billion Rising activists are back at it again in the ninth year of the campaign with over 70 countries rising, hundreds of creative resistance events are taking place on the ground and online to end gender based violence and climate destruction.
It’s time to RISE for the Bodies of All Women, Girls & the Earth!
Created by a community of more than 45 One Billion Rising global coordinators, this year’s campaign urges communities worldwide to utilize art and activism, creative resistance events and gatherings, both online and offline, to demand an end to violence against women, girls and the planet, and to shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face.
One Billion Rising events are taking place now and will continue through 22 April, Earth Day. Creative resistance events will take various forms from flash mobs to documentary films, candlelight vigils to trainings with men, night walks to pride marches and more.
