Weekend Event in Düsseldorf: One Billion Rise - Dance Protest against Women and Girl Violence
On February 14, 2025, the city of Düsseldorf will join over 200 countries worldwide in a global movement against violence against women and girls. The event, known as One Billion Rising, will take place in front of the Düsseldorf town hall at 5 PM, and everyone is invited to participate.
The theme for One Billion Rising in 2025 is Rise For Empathy. This annual event, which has been held for over ten years in Düsseldorf, is organised by kom!ma and others. The colour pink, signifying strength, courage, and joy, will be prominently displayed in the One Billion Rising flag that will be flown at the town hall.
The name "One Billion" does not represent a marketing number but translates to "one billion" - a statistic that signifies the number of women and girls worldwide who will experience violence in their lifetime, according to a UN report. This event serves as a powerful reminder of the need to address this pressing issue.
The One Billion Rising event in Düsseldorf is not a registered event, meaning participation is spontaneous and open to everyone, including men. The action day for "One Billion Rising" takes place annually on Feb 14, making it a significant date in the fight against gender-based violence.
Join us on Feb 14, 2025, in front of the Düsseldorf town hall at 5 PM to stand together against violence against women and girls. Let's rise for empathy, strength, and a world free from violence.
