Stand Up Against Violence Towards Women and Girls at Binghamton University Event

On Friday, February 14, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., the Mandela Room at Binghamton University's University Union will buzz with the empowering spirit of One Billion Rising: Rise for Freedom.

This event is a strong call for everyone to take action to stop violence against women. It brings together community members, students, and activists to stand together against violence targeting women.

One Billion Voices for Change

One out of every three women around the world will go through the terrible experience of being beaten or raped at some point in her life, which adds up to one billion women and girls. This shocking number shows why events like One Billion Rising are so important.

When we come together at Binghamton University in February, we shine a light on the fact that many survivors don't get the justice they deserve. By dancing, we show our strength and togetherness, and we make it clear that we are determined to create a future where violence against women is not tolerated.

The Global Movement: Uniting in Solidarity

Since its start in 2012, One Billion Rising has spread to over 200 countries. It uses activism, dancing, and art to encourage people to support the rights of women and girls.

This year, the campaign emphasizes the critical issue of ensuring safety and justice for women globally.

Encouraging Action Through Art and Advocacy

The event at Binghamton University on February 14 has a full schedule of activities aimed at fighting gender-based violence. People who attend will see interactive art, performances that make them feel stronger, and hear talks from guest speakers that make them think. Attendees can also talk to local groups that help victims of abuse and learn how to support survivors.
