FEMALE OPPRESSION

​
The entire school community of St. Scholastica’s College of Manila, along with people of media and visitors showed support to the global movement ONE BILLION RISING by participating in dance to its official choreography, on the 14th of February 2019.
​
This annual event started in the year 2013 by actor, author and feminist activist Eve Ensler, in which it is dedicated to bringing millions of people from every part of the world to decrease and destroy acts of violence, discrimination and oppression against women and children, even if it means shaming national politics or government negligence.
