What is One Billion Rising

One Billion Rising is the largest mass action in human history to end violence against women, gender-expansive, and gender-fluid people. Launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, the movement rose from a staggering truth: 1 in 3 women worldwide will be beaten or raped in her lifetime—over one billion women and girls across a planet of 7 billion people.

Every year, from February through April, millions rise in cities, villages, and streets around the globe to show what one billion looks like. Through dance, art, music, ritual, and testimony, participants reclaim joy, refuse defeat, and build a consciousness where violence is resisted until it is unthinkable. Risings are intersectional, intergenerational, accessible, community-based, and youth-led—expressions of creativity, compassion, and collective resistance.

Cinemagical Media was brought on to create a fast-paced, sizzle-style overview video capturing the energy, vision, and global impact of the One Billion Rising movement.
