Düsseldorf's Friday Event: One Billion Rising - Dance in Protest Against Female and Girl Violence
On a significant day each year, the world unites in a powerful display of solidarity against violence against women and girls. This annual event, known as "One Billion Rising," takes place on February 14th and invites everyone to participate in front of city halls worldwide, including Düsseldorf.
The action day, which is held in over 200 countries, is not organised by a single group or individual but is typically coordinated by local activist groups and networks dedicated to ending violence against women and promoting women's rights. In Düsseldorf, for over ten years, kom!ma has been one of the organisers of the action.
Participants are encouraged to set a sign for an end to violence against women and girls, and spontaneous participation on the market square is possible. Men are welcome to join the dance as well.
According to a UN statistic, one in three women and girls worldwide will experience violence in their lifetime, making it a pressing issue that requires global attention and action. Therefore, the "One Billion Rising" action serves as a powerful reminder of the urgency to end this violence and to promote equality and respect for all.
Importantly, no registration is required for the action day, making it accessible to everyone who wishes to take part in this important movement. So, mark your calendars for February 14th, and let us stand together to say #OneBillionRising for justice and an end to violence against women and girls.
