Abstract
In One Billion Rising (OBR), a global flash mob protest against sexual violence toward women, the dancing body becomes a political site for advocating freedom and self-defined agency. The flash mob provides a liberating space, allowing marginalized women to make their voices heard through their bodies and to transform their unspeakable trauma into a danceable pleasure for all to experience in a community of mutual support and empathy. This article focuses on my auto-ethnographic participation/observation at OBR events from February 2013 to February 2019 and draws from interviews with seven participants in the United States, Zimbabwe, and Hong Kong.
