OBR 2017

One Billion Rising


One Billion Rising, OBR,  is a global campaign that began in 2013. We, as young people, have supported the campaign since its inception and this year is no different. 
The 2017 campaign focuses on RISE! DISRUPT! CONNECT! as the theme and we hope to have more women and girls join the cause to come out and BREAK FREE! 

Annually we convene to rehearse to Break the Chain and perform it where given a chance. This year, 2017, we have been fortunate enough to receive the support from the Faculty of Arts, Law and Education (FALE) at the University of the South Pacific (USP). 
FALE has kindly sponsored their Performance Space to be used for dance rehearsals and to host the Spoken Words evening on Feb 14 - the day of the event. V-DAY.



On this V-DAY we are hosting a Spoken Words event and we are inviting all interested women and girls to come and make use of the space. 
Share your stories.
Rise to the occasion. 
Disrupt the norms. 
Connect with others.
Be the revolution. 

To register for the event simply send us an email on actfiji@gmail.com with your name and phone number and turn up to the event. 
There is no registration fee BUT spaces are limited. 
The performance will take place on February 14, 2017 (Tuesday) from 6pm at the AusPac Performance Space (092-002) at USP. 
EVERYONE is invited to attend the event and support our women and girls as their create a revolution. 
As they RISE. 
As they DISRUPT. 
As they CONNECT. 

In solidarity!!!
