JAMAICA
On 11 March 2017 the Tambourine Army hosted Jamaica’s
first Survivor Empowerment March, organized and
participated in by One Billion Rising Jamaica organizers and
activists. Along the route there were four stops that allowed
women who are survivors of violence to speak their stories
of survival and triumph. A spirit-centered drumming group
and empowering and uplifting music from Tanya Stephens,
Keisha Fimm and Etana supported the women in their
stories. At the rally in Half Way Tree, the Tambourine Army
presented their 20-Point Action Plan for Change to end
sexual violence and violence against women and girls.
