One Billion Rising

[Content Note: Violence.]A few individuals have requested me basically have ideas on a single Billion Rising, that is an invite to 1 billion women "and individuals who love these to Go Out, DANCE, Rise, and DEMAND an finish" to violence against women.Zerlina's ideas here pretty much capture my very own:1 Billion Rising, whilst not perfect, comes with an attract me like a survivor of violence. Sure, dancing is not likely to prevent a guy from carrying out an action of violence, but there's something very effective about children and allies getting together to bop, because dancing generally is concerning the physical movement of your body. There's liberation for the reason that autonomy. ...To be sure with a few of the critiques of 1 Billion Rising, namely, it does not really address what causes violence against women, it really brings awareness. Clearly, getting awareness for an problem is essential, but it is not sufficient to be able to really solve the issue. Dancing is not likely to change rape culture, but when it can make a survivor be at liberty and in charge of her body, if perhaps for any couple of minutes today, dance on.And tell me when One Billion males are rising.That last bit might seem flippant, but particularly juxtaposed with Jess' publish, it is not.I do not personally feel linked to One Billion Rising like a survivor, however i am truly thrilled for anyone that do. I value awareness-raising, despite the fact that this specific event does not excite me should not whatsoever be construed to imply that I can not or don't be thankful has excited numerous of people that take presctiption my team, promoting against violence.So: What is your opinion? I am especially curious to listen to from Shakers with physical disabilities to limit the opportunity to dance about whether you are feeling One Billion Rising is broad enough in the invitation to become including individuals who might dance in a different way or can't dance whatsoever.[P.S. I can not stop hearing Tom Sturdy saying "The Billion Increases!" inside a Bane voice.]
