Why I Rise Part 2

One of OBR-SLC Team Member's 16 year old niece is of the first to voice "Why she is rising..."
Kadelyn lives in the Salt Lake Area and is a talented and determined young woman, with many dreams and goals that with her strong will, we all know she will achieve them.
She has spoken up and with her voice she is making the change!!!!
Kadelyn wrote;
"I am rising because one in three women will be raped or beaten in their lifetime. I think that it is revolutionary that one billion women will act out and be heard by dancing. I want the violence that is done to women to stop. Whether it be physical or mental abuse. No woman wants to be called names and no woman want to be raped or abused in any way. The One Billion Rising is a chance for women who have been raped or abused in their lifetime to rise up and speak out. To have a voice that isn't going to use violence to stop violence, but to dance and be able to have the chance be a women without dehumanizing gestures others do to women. To rise and dance for a world free of violence done to women. For young girls and women to feel safe instead of having to worry if someone will rape them while they are coming home from school is amazing. Go One Billion Rising!! "
