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.
