NEW WEBSITE
STATE OF FEMALE JUSTICE
The new One Billion Rising For Justice website
includes interactive user features, an international
blog series on “Envisioning Justice,” creative
expressions of justice through images, poetry, music,
and film, a new toolkit for organizers and risers, links
for our other social media sites like Twitter, Facebook,
and Tumblr – all created to help risers around the
world connect and be inspired by each other’s
artistic initiatives.
Inspired by V-Day’s “The State of Female America”
event in 2012?– the One Billion Rising For Justice “State
of Female Justice” panel discussions will premiere
in New York City, with similar panels being held in
various select countries around the world. The
events will focus on discussions on social and
feminist justice, and their relationship to ending
violence against women.
NEW SHORT FILM
V-Day has created a new short?film featuring moving
footage from Risings that took place around the
world in 2013. Like the 2013 Short Film and “Man
Prayer,” this new piece will help galvanize and
activate people to RISE for justice. A longer version
is being created showcasing the magnitude of One
Billion Rising for broadcast on TV, Internet & movie
theaters around the globe leading up to
14 February, 2014.
CREATIVE JUSTICE
One Billion Rising For Justice is also a call to women
and men around the world to create new, local
artistic expressions of their visions of justice – from
poetry to spoken and written word, to photography, film,
music, and visual arts.

Rising Director Monique Wilson will go on an

campaign, talk to women’s groups and grass roots
communities, and connect with activists on the
ground who are organizing One Billion Rising For
Justice events.

Haiti, Hungary, India, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, Singapore, U.S., and UK.
#CAMPUSRISING
V-Day’s legacy on college campuses has contributed
to what is now a widespread dialogue about reforming
campus sexual assault policies. As part of One
Billion Rising for Justice, V-Day activists at colleges
and universities will examine and expose injustices
on their own campuses through the Campus Rising
campaign.
This student-driven movement will work towards
ending the prevalence of on-campus sexual assault
and date-rape, as well as administrations’ failure to
properly prevent or adequately respond to the needs
of college survivors.
