ONE BILLION RISING, V. DAY 2013

Did you know that one in three women will experience violent abuse, assault and/or rape?  That is over one billion people in this world (7 billion total population, divided in half, and then 1/3 of 3.5 billion).

Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues started One Billion Rising last year, and this year was a spectacular victory for women globally.

The St. Louis local RISING was a flash dance mob at the Missouri History Museum, sponsored by the excellent Safe Connections.

It was well-attended and fun!

(Back in Lupe's day making revolution and changing the world was hard work! These young whipper snappers sure don't know how lucky they are, DANCING and HAVING FUN to change the world!  ;o)

Go to the One Billion Rising site to learn the BREAK THE CHAIN dance, choreographed by Debbie Allen.

Lupe's favourite soundtrack for Rising Up and Breaking The Chain is Shelia Chandra's La Sagesse!
