ONE BILLION RISING: REVOLUTION 2018: SOLIDARITY: RISE! RESIST! UNITE! Through One Billion Rising, activists worldwide have mobilized, engaged, awakened and joined people across the planet to end violence against women and girls. We have made violence against women a global issue, not relegated to country or tribe or class or religion. ONE BILLION RISING EXPANDED WITH ITS THEMES OF REVOLUTION AND SOLIDARITY THIS YEAR. OBR has become a movement unto itself, taking activism out of the theater and into the streets, front and center. Activists across sectors staged Artistic Uprisings in their communities, creating and learning new music and choreography from around the world.
