National alliance of Filipino women, Gabriela, will lead the conduct of One Billion Rising campaign: Rise for Freedom on Saturday, Feb. 11 in line with its oath to eradicate all forms of gender-based violence.
One Billion Rising, a global action to end violence against all identities subjected to gender-based violence, will be marking its 10th anniversary on Saturday. Through this, Gabriela will voice out its concerns on pressing national issues such as violence, exploitation, and injustice.

Gabriela said they are expecting to lead “thousands of attendees and participants.” The movement will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Liwasang Aurora, Quezon City Memorial Circle.
