LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO – On Friday February 14, 2025, Colonias Development Council and Partner Agencies will host a One Billion Rising -Las Cruces a community event a worldwide movement to end violence against women as well as all forms of violence. It began as a call to action based on the statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime, equaling more than one billion women and girls based on the current global population. We want to be free of all forms of violence!

Dance is dangerous, joyous, holy, disruptive, and contagious and it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, at any time, with anyone and everyone, and it’s free. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further and that is why it’s at the center of ONE BILLION RISING”
Local agencies that serve families affected by violence will have resource information tables. A fun family event with music, dance, raffles, gifts, snacks and giveaways.
