What
is V-Day? V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women
and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder
Eve Ensler's award-winning play The Vagina Monologues. In 2006, more than 2700
V-Day events in 1150 communities and colleges took place in the U.S. and around
the world. To date, V-Day has raised over $35 million and educated millions
about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted
international educational, media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program
in the Middle East, funded over 5000 community-based anti-violence programs,
reopened shelters, and funded safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and
Iraq.
The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
What is the College Campaign? The
V-Day College Campaign strives to empower women to find their collective voices
and demand an end to the epidemic levels of violence and abuse on their campuses,
in their communities and around the world. Through benefit productions of The
Vagina Monologues that take place between Valentine's Day (February 14) and
International Women's Day (March 8) they raise money and awareness to stop violence
against women and girls. The proceeds from these events are donated directly
to local organizations in the community that are working to stop this violence.
