In Düsseldorf on a Friday: One Billion Rising - A dance protest against the violence inflicted upon women and girls
In the heart of Düsseldorf, Germany, on February 14th, the annual "One Billion Rising" action day will take place. This event, held globally in over 200 countries, is a powerful symbol of resistance against violence against women and girls.
Organised by kom!ma, a Düsseldorf-based organisation that has been at the forefront of this campaign for over ten years, the action invites everyone to join. Whether you're a regular participant or deciding to take part spontaneously on the market square, your presence is welcome.
The name "One Billion Rising" is not a marketing number. It represents a staggering UN statistic: one in three women and girls worldwide will experience violence in their lifetime. This sobering fact underscores the urgent need for action and solidarity.
This year, organisations such as medica mondiale, which is active in combating sexualized violence and organises One Billion Rising campaigns globally, will be participating. However, a detailed list of Düsseldorf-based organisations involved in the event could not be found in the search results.
The action will take place in front of the town hall, starting at 5 PM. Men are encouraged to join the dancing as well, demonstrating a united front against violence. There's no need for registration to participate; simply show up and lend your voice to the cause.
Together, we can rise against violence and create a world where every woman and girl can live free from fear. Join the One Billion Rising movement on February 14th and stand up for a future where "One Billion" doesn't represent a statistic, but a powerful force for change.
