One billion rising

Yesterday, the students of the Ahfad University for Women took part in the global campaign 'One billion rising' to raise awareness on violence against women all over the world. The amazing and very striking focus of the event was a particular dance, that was being danced by women all over the world. Besides the students from the University, the Dutch community in Khartoum has also initiated special 'One billion rising' dance workshops, which will be conducted tonight at the Khartoum International Community School in Khartoum. Among all different global examples of shocking violence against women, there are unfortunately also still numerous stories from the women here in Sudan. So, enough reason to strike, dance and rise!
