On Saturday, Feb. 14, students, parents and faculty came together to partake in the second annual 7C One Billion Rising event. A worldwide movement to end violence against women and girls, One Billion Rising has brought many communities from over 200 different countries together, allowing each to rise in the way that is most meaningful to them. For the 7C community, this meant creating a space for acknowledging and reflecting on the history, as well as the current state, of gender based violence, sharing thoughts and experiences, verbalizing why this mattered to each participant and dancing together under the hot February sun.
