At the end of the day, this global movement is little more than the uprising of individuals. No major funding is given to the hosts of One Billion Rising events and ordinary people are the masterminds behind each elaborate demonstration. This is our revolution. These are our voices.

This is our chance to change the course of history and disrupt the walls of shame and fear that have barricaded so many women into corners. This is your chance.

How will you rise?
