12 Apr RED MY LIPS (Rising For Freedom).

RED MY LIPS:

Red My Lips( A global awareness campaign against Sexual Violence,Rapes and Offences)

It is an annual global awareness campaign where supporters (both men and women) wear red all throughout April – Sexual Assault Awareness Month – to raise awareness and funds. Women use red lipstick to create visibility, combat rape myths and victim-blaming, and demonstrate solidarity and support for survivors. Men can support and create awareness regarding this event by wearing red ribbon, scarf, shirt, cap, socks, shoes etc.

We want volunteers and organizations to support us for this event.

If we could empower women knowing that no one has a right to violate her body . Having had a community around her who can encourage her to tell the truth – and would know she has support, it would not force her to succumb.

According to UN, one in three women, will be raped and beaten in their lifetime. This Campaign #REDMYLIPS# is about asking volunteers to take part in mass actions, or “risings”, which can encompass anything from dance, poetry reading to demonstrate spirit of solidarity and resistance.
Last year we have seen mass kidnappings of girls by Boko Haram and the hideous rapes of Yazidi women in Iraq, women raped in the military and on campuses, who can forget the brutality of the Nirbhaya’s case?

Raising awareness is a concrete change in itself!!

Join and support.
