Dear Friends,
Greetings of Solidarity.

團結問候各位朋友,

The Asian Migrants Coordinating Body (AMCB) wishes to invite you to join the One Billion Rising Revolution on February 12, 2017, 1:00pm at Edinburgh Place, Central Hong Kong.

亞洲移居人士聯盟(AMCB)希望邀請您在2017年2月12日下午1時，在香港中環愛丁堡廣場參加億萬人起動為革命 (One Billion Rising Revolution)。

For the last 4 years, Hong Kong migrant workers, local women and advocates have been actively participating in the One Billion Rising, a campaign to end violence and injustices against women in general, to end slavery and social exclusion for migrant workers in particular and a global call for system change.

在過去4年，香港的不同種族移工、本地婦女和倡導者一直積極參與在「億萬人起動」。這個運動旨在終止普遍對女性的暴力和打壓，終止尤其是對外來工的奴役和社會性排斥，以及呼籲全球有制度性的轉變。

Specific calls include the following: 2013 – One Billion Rising to end violence against women and children; 2014 – One Billion Rising for Justice specifically a call for Justice for Erwiana and all migrant domestic workers in HK; 2015- One Billion Rising for Revolution – End impunity, policy and system change and in 2016 – One Billion Rising Revolution… intensification of the revolution campaign.

具體發生過的呼籲包括：2013年 – 億萬人起動終止對婦女和兒童的暴力; 2014 – 億萬人起動為公義，嚴正呼籲還Erwiana和所有在港不同種族家務工一個公道; 2015 – 億萬人起動終止有法不依，尋求政策及制度改變，以及2016 – 億萬人起動為革命……正在加強這革命性的運動。

This year (2017) we are in full enthusiasm to another One Billion Rising for Revolution, with the theme: Solidarity against the Exploitation of Women. We will….RISE! DISRUPT! CONNECT, as we dance to the music of Break the Chain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL5N8rSy4CU).

這一年（2017年），我們滿載熱情地走向下一個「億萬人起動為革命」，主題是：團結對抗剝削婦女。我們會……「起來！抗擊！連結！」，一如我們所跳舞步的音樂「掙開枷鎖」。

We sincerely hope that you can join the One Year Billion Rising in Hong Kong and to:
1. Extend the invitation to all groups and individuals that you may know

3. Give message to raise particular women issues in the society
4. Give cultural performances (song, dance, poem, skit etc.)
