SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS OF RISINGS:
In CROATIA, a “Handmaid’s
March” was held to highlight the
symbolism of “obedient” women
– with drummers dressed in black –
leading the women as if they were
going to the guillotine.
From north to south in ITALY, many
associations, schools, gyms, dance
academies, feminist activists, and
civilians held OBR flash mobs, parades,
demonstrations, readings, discussions,
art exhibitions and art laboratories in
over 100 lively, colorful and cheerful
events.
All over the UNITED KINGDOM,
performances of “The Vagina
Monologues” were held, with OBR
dancing afterwards. International
domestic workers held an OBR event and
danced outside Parliament in London for
the rights of migrants, domestic workers
and refugees. Artists held OBR festivals.
High school students from FIU in MIAMI,
USA rose through panels and spoken and
sung performances – based on “What
You Should Know/ What You Can Do”
informational sources.
In NEW MEXICO, USA, Capital High
School students led the flash mob and took
OBR into their respective colleges. There
were traditional community testimonies in
the town rotunda on OBR day, and “The Vagina
Monologues” was staged in cooperation with
