PLFC EAL students reflecting on 'One Billion Rising Campaign' - 1


Who is Eve Ensler?

Eve Ensler is famous for her development of The Vagina Monologues, which has become a worldwide sensation performed in dozens of languages, but she’s more than just a playwright. She’s also an activist who’s passionately concerned about violence against women, and recently, she turned her sights to environmental devastation and the connections between harming the environment and hurting women.
You can find more information about Eve Ensler from the following web sites;



What is 'One Billion Rising' Campaign?

It is a global day of action – and dancing – in protest against violence against women. 


It is: 

- A global strike
- An invitation to dance
- A call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends
- An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their power in numbers
- A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
- A new time and a new way of being
