60 MILLION SURVIVORS RISING
There are more than 60 million survivors in the United States. We are coming together across sectors, communities, and generations to say: the time has come for justice, accountability, and healing. We stand with survivors who remain silent, afraid of the risk of finally speaking out. We rise for every survivor whose story was buried, dismissed, or denied. We will not stop until the violence stops.
ONE BILLION RISING
One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. The campaign, which launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS.
