Ahead of the “One Billion Rising Global Day of Action” on February 14, 2023, Filipino women in Quezon City in the Philippine capital gathered and danced to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the global movement to end violence against “women (cisgender and transgender), gender diverse people, girls, and the planet.”
