It gives us immense pleasure to apprise you that a series of programmes have been jointly organised by the UGC Centre for Women’s Studies, Dibrugarh University and Akam Foundation to commemorate the One Billion Rising, 2024.
On this occasion, you are cordially invited to a Public Lecture on “Towards Feminist Future: Cross Movement Solidarity Building” to be delivered by Abha Bhaiya, a pioneer feminist activist and founding member of Jagori Delhi and Jagori Rural Charitable Trust, Himachal Pradesh on 4 April 2024 at 3 P.M at the Conference Hall, UGC Centre for Women’s Studies, Dibrugarh University.
One Billion Rising, started on Valentine's Day 2012, is one of the biggest worldwide mass movements to end violence against women. According to staggering statistic, 1 in 3 women is beaten or r***d during lifetime and with the world population at 7 billion, this sums up to more than ONE MILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every year, every survivor rises from the violence they faced. People across the globe express their rise from the violence through various activities like dance, drama etc. and celebrate the fact that they have not been defeated by this violence
We cordially invite you to the public lecture and we shall be grateful if you kindly grace the occasion with your presence.
