Enough is Enough: No More Violence Against Women

This Valentine’s Day will see a large number of individuals and over 20 city-based organisations come together in Cubbon Park on Thursday to ‘Strike, Rise, Dance’, demanding an end to violence against women. 

Organised as part of a worldwide campaign, 1 Billion Rising, the event will take place in several cities in India and across the globe, inviting women, men and children to “walk out, dance, rise up, and demand an end to violence against women”. 

It marks 15 years of V-Day, a movement started by Eve Ensler, the American playwright and activist who wrote The Vagina Monologues, to end violence against women and children.

Why dance? 1 Billion Rising’s website quotes Ms. Ensler who describes dance as “a way of being very powerful and a little dangerous without being violent”. 

City-based groups such as Vimochana, Garment and Textile Workers’ Union and Action Aid will participate in the event here, which will include folk dances, street theatre, food stalls, a DJ, street rangoli and candlelight storytelling. 

1 Billion Rising will begin at 2.30 p.m. at Manjula Mantapa, the entrance to Cubbon Park from Vittal Mallya Road.
