THE GLOBAL COORDINATORS
… are activists around the world who are engaging their communities, cities, countries, and regions to be a part of One Billion Rising. As long-time activists and V-Day organizers working to end violence against women and girls, they have the skills, networks and ability to help guide local organizations, individuals, lawyers, unions, and alliances to be part of the campaign. These coordinators, together with their network groups, took the lead in their own countries and communities on how to envision and implement the campaign and did a breathtaking job of highlighting their local contexts within the larger campaign.
