One Billion Rising

This is a half hour event for staff, students and the wider Canberra Community to raise awareness and celebrate a united front against the alarming violence against women statistics across the globe. This will involve music, singing and guest speaker Mirjana Wilson, Executive Director of the Domestic Violence Crisis Centre. Co-collaboration and support for the event has been undertaken by many organisations including the Domestic Violence Crisis Service, White Ribbon, Rape Crisis Centre and Womens Legal.

1 in 3 women will experience violence in their lifetime. One Billion Rising is a global campaign that invites one billion women and those who love them to demand an end to violence. The ANU Gender Institute shares this goal and is pleased to be able to support this event.
