Over 100 Risings This Week Alone, Join us Rise for Freedom, Rise Against Fascism

12 Feb Over 100 Risings This Week Alone, Join us Rise for Freedom, Rise Against Fascism

Posted at 13:02h in Newsletter, One Billion Rising, V-Day, Voices by

Activists in 100+ countries are staging over 1500 creative resistance events as part of ONE BILLION RISING 2025 demanding an end to violence against women and girls, gender expansive people and the Earth. Over 100+ events will take place this week alone.

These events take various forms including artistic rising and climate initiatives; new songs/anthems, poetry, documentary films, online discussions, panels & events; training with men; allies, flash mobs, and marches and more. A rising is a call for collective action to resist authoritarianism, threats to our bodies and environmental destruction.

We stand in solidarity with all survivors of sexual violence. We support the trans community, immigrants, and every group targeted by the far-right movement. We refuse to normalize their violence. Across the globe, governments led by corrupt, authoritarian leaders are rolling back human rights, women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, undermining democratic institutions, denying human rights, enforcing militarization, banning books and erasing history, shutting down dissent and media, drilling and deregulating and destroying the Earth.

Risings are featured across social media platforms and in local, national & global media. Here are a few examples, just in:
