Students RISE in Solidarity
Last week, Carondelet and De La Salle students participated in several events designed to address the difficult topics of sexual harassment and assault, domestic abuse and human trafficking. Carondelet's RISE week was developed in response to
One Billion Rising, which began in 2012 as an international movement to end rape and sexual violence against women.
Students were encouraged to "RISE" with one another and commit to fostering a worldwide culture of respect, inclusion, solidarity and empowerment.
"I think the most vital thing I learned during RISE was how vast the issue of violence against women is and how I am affected by the statistics," said
Claire Halim '20. "I also learned how to help be the solution to this prominent problem and be the change!"
RISE T-shirts
If you or your daughter have not picked up your One Billion Rising T-shirt, please come by the Student Activities Center. Please email
Ms. Lettire at with any questions.
