Beschreibung
Produced by Eve Ensler and V-Day, directed by Tony Stroebel, written and produced by Tena Clark with music by Tena Clark and Tim Heintz, and featuring dancer and choreographer Debbie Allen.
\"Break the Chain\" aims to raise awareness around the world about V-Day\'s fastest escalating global campaign to date, ONE BILLION RISING. The ONE BILLION RISING campaign began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On 14 February 2013, V-Day\'s 15th anniversary, activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities and women and men across the world will come together to express their outrage, strike, dance, and RISE in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women.

\"Break the Chain\" Lyrics
Lyrics by Tena Clark
Music by Tena Clark/Tim Heintz
Intro-
I raise my arms to the sky
On my knees I pray
I\'m not afraid anymore
I will walk through that door
Walk, dance, rise
Walk, dance, rise
I can see a world where we all live
Safe and free from all oppression
No more rape or incest, or abuse
Women are not a possession
You\'ve never owned me, don\'t even know me I\'m not invisible, I\'m simply wonderful I feel my heart for the first time racing I feel alive, I feel so amazing
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I\'ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Dance, rise
Dance, rise
In the middle of this madness, we will stand I know there is a better world Take your sisters & your brothers by the hand Reach out to every woman & girl
This is my body, my body\'s holy
No more excuses, no more abuses
We are mothers, we are teachers,
We are beautiful, beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I\'ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
It\'s time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Dance Break Inst.
Dance, rise
Dance, rise
Sister won\'t you help me, sister won\'t you rise x4
Dance, rise
Dance, rise
Sister won\'t you help me, sister won\'t you rise x4
This is my body, my body\'s holy
No more excuses, no more abuses
We are mothers, we are teachers,
We are beautiful, beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I\'ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
(Repeat chorus)
Eines muss aber jedem rational denkenden Menschen klar sein:
An Vergewaltigungen sind religiöse Überzeugungen und kulturelle Erziehung mitschuldig.
Ich weiß nicht, was die Frauen fordern. Vergewaltiger können sie nicht meinen, denn denen ist es egal, was Frauen denken und fühlen.
VerGEWALTigung ist ein gesamtgesellschaftliches Problem und begrenzt sich nicht nur auf erzwungene sexuelle Handlungen.
Vergewaltigung hat viele Formen. Ich sehe es tagtäglich, wenn dir Fremde diktieren wollen, wie du zu leben hast, was du arbeiten sollst, was du denken sollst, was zu nicht tun darfst usw.
Es geht hier nicht um Frauen. Es geht um viel mehr. Leider wird das nicht gesehen.
