Guyanese performing Group Y3K is set to represent this country and the Caribbean at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on February 7, on behalf of the international women’s advocacy group, One Billion Rising.
The local youth band has been featured at a number of events throughout the country and will be performing their original song “Revolution Girl” to an international audience as an “artistic rising of the revolution on violence against our women”.
According to Caribbean American Domestic Violence Awareness (CADVA), Y3K will be the only group representing the Caribbean at the One Billion Rising New York event.
One Billion Rising is a global campaign which aims to end violence against women through artistic expression, and has been in existence since 2012.
