One Billion Rising is a global campaign founded by author, playwright and activist V (formerly Eve Ensler), to end rape and sexual violence against women. The "billion" refers to the UN statistic that one in three women will be raped or beaten in their lifetime, or about one billion.

The campaign started in 2012 as part of the V-Day movement and continues annually with new themes. In 2026, the campaign theme is Rise for Our Bodies, Our Earth, Our Future.
