Why am I Rising?
I am Rising because there is no other option.
One in three women on our planet will be raped or beaten in
her lifetime – how can this even be possible in our so called civilised
world? This grotesque statistic can only
be changed if we (all of us - with a conscience, with love, with humour, with
dignity, with honour, with respect) stand up and refuse to accept to accept
violence against women and girls as a given.
I am Rising because this statistic exists. It is not a number made up by rabid feminists,
plucked from fantasy to fool you into thinking there is a problem when there
isn’t.
It is real.
And it is terrible.
So we must Rise Up, Walk Out, Dance and Demand an end to
this violence.
I am Rising.
