#MWR2023 / #MWR15yrs : 15 YEARS OF WOMYNIST REVOLUTION and still we rise...
The Million Women Rise (MWR) Movement is made up of thousands of women who are united by outrage at the continued daily, hourly, minute-by-minute individual and institutionalised male violence enacted against women worldwide.
We believe that every woman and child has a right to live free from violence and that ongoing violence devastates not only the lives of the individuals directly affected but also the communities of which they are part. We want to highlight the continuation of all forms of violence against women, and demand that steps are taken to put an end to this. Million Women Rise works in solidarity with international women's movements on a variety of campaigns and projects. We work to build and create links with and between grassroots and political activists, to create safe spaces for sharing information. we provide a platform for women to speak out globally. Million Women Rise works with women as powerful change makers. We promote real change that is based on truth, peace, and love. We believe that together we can create change. HOW WE WORK
Million Women Rise is a collective of womyn who work autonomously, without any corporate sponsorship or formal funding. We promote real change that is based on truth, unity, peace and love. We rely on the support of donations to keep our voice autonomous.
Million Women Rise movement has at its core a international Co-ordinating and Decision making black womyns collective which is based in London UK. Sub-groups work on different aspects of MWR which support the movement of women and Girls and raising awareness of the pandemic of male violence against us . As well as the national Co-ordinating collective, there are regional groups that operate in other areas. Regional MWR volunteers encourage women to take part in the national demonstration as well as organising local fundraising and awareness raising events. Million Women Rise is non-partisan, it has no formal links to any particular political networks. Everyone who works for Million Women Rise is a unpaid volunteer, none of our donations are spent on wages. This means that all of your money goes directly to the cause. All donations, no matter how small, are appreciated. Photos of #MWR2018 courtesy of Elainea Emmott - @emmottelainea / @elaineaemmott
