Get ready for a series of special events at The Dominion February 18th - 19th in support of One Billion Rising (www.onebillionrising.org). Our events will include a special exhibit at our Art Gallery orchestrated by our Curator Lady Joie (more about that below), our SEVENTH annual performance of The Vagina Monologues produced by Lady Lisa, a special One Billion Rising Discussion Event with Lady Dalia and more!
This year's One Billion Rising campaign:
"1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in hundreds of countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable.
THIS YEAR, WE ARE RISING IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST THE EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN."
