‘The Rise’ is a call & response to women around the world. We see you, we hear you & we are with you. The fight is not over.
“Image a world where all women enjoy their human rights.” That world is coming and that world is possible. Take this day and beyond, to support, encourage and make a difference for yourself as a woman as well as the women around you.
We will keep rising. You are not alone. And these images are a testiment to that struggle. May we feel the energy, the pain, the joy and the importance of women. Women working hard, women working together and women on THE RISE.
