V-Day : "...until the violence stops"
VDAY 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. The V-Day College
Campaign invites members of college and university communities
around the world to present such productions on their campuses
on or around V-Day (February 14th) to raise money and awareness
to stop violence against women and girls. The proceeds from
these events are donated directly by the schools to local
organizations in their communities that are working to stop this
violence. One of the goals of the College Campaign is to empower
young people -- the leaders, shapers and messengers of the
future. Below is information on the beneficiaries of this year's
production.
