ONE BILLION RISING
RISING INITIATIVES
YOUTH RISING
One Billion Rising Revolution saw young adults, school children, and even babies brought to the front
of the campaign. Thousands of youth around the world danced to the anthem “Break the Chain” and
demanded access to education as a keystone of the revolution. Young women in Mumbai flooded the
streets to speak out against street harassment.
Mothers and fathers brought children of all ages to events and danced with them in
their arms, hand in hand. In the UK, girls rose to end female genital mutilation. In
Oakland, the Radical Brownies appeared at their
Artistic Uprising evening. Girls
of all ages danced, sang,
expressed the feminine,
performed slam poetry,
and stood in
solidarity.
