Happy International Women’s Day!

I bet you’re worried.

We were worried.

We were worried about vaginas.

And rightly so: one in three women will experience violence in her lifetime.¹ The statistics are staggering. That’s why we at Sciences Po are rising to end violence against women and promote women’s rights.

Today, we celebrate International Women’s Day!

Everyone can make the commitment to promote women’s rights. You can start by sharing why you Rise! to end violence against women.

Our goal is equality, and we won’t stand for anything less.
