Every year on February 14, people all over the world come together in solidarity to raise awareness and show support for One Billion Rising.

One Billion Rising is the biggest, mass action with the aim of ending violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence), in human history.

The campaign, which launched on Valentine's Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet, will beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion+, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS.
