We Rise Up

WASHINGTON - February 14 - Today, MADRE joins all those rising up against violence, as part of V-Day’s 1 Billion Rising campaign.

Every day, our sisters around the world rise. The women of our partner organizations have always used song and dance to denounce violence and to tap into their collective strength and joy. In Nicaragua, Kenya, Haiti, Colombia and more, they embrace creativity to imagine a world without abuse.
