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. 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.
Emerge Global was started by an MIT alumna to enable Sri Lankan girls who have survived abuse and sexual violence to become jewelry designers through a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes personal discovery, leadership, and business knowledge, while simultaneously generating savings for their futures. Design and entrepreneurship are combined to develop confidence, teach life skills, and strengthen the community's capacity to effect change. They hope to one day be able to work with young women and girls around the world who have survived abuse to rediscover and celebrate their personal beauty, develop their self-sufficiency, and become leaders within their own communities. http://www.emergeglobal.org/
