2016 One Billion Rising: V-men Run

The Garden of Hope Foundation held the 4th V-men Charity Run under sunny skies at the Bi-Tan River Bank Park on Saturday, November 18. The activity was the biggest OBR event in Northeast Asia calling on men to join the anti-gender violence movement.
An estimated 4,000 people participated in the run.

There were five major experiences offered to men during this year’s event: high-heel wearing, male emotions, pregnancy-suit wearing, the One Billion Rising area, and an area where they could experience discrimination towards women. Several celebrities, politicians, and social entrepreneurs were present and echoed the international OBR campaign by raising their forefingers and calling for rising, disrupting, and connection to fight against gender-based violence.
