About V-Day
V-Day is a global movement to end violence against girls and women. V-Day is a decision, an energy, a spirit, a day -- Valentine's Day -- for which annual theatrical and artistic events are produced in local, national and international venues to raise money and to transform consciousness. To date, Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning play, "The Vagina Monologues," has been the centerpiece of these events. In order to translate its mission into action, V-Day established the V-Day Fund in 1998. The V-Day Fund allocates resources to global grassroots groups that work to end rape, battery, incest and genital mutilation.
Contributions to the V-Day Fund come from many different places: individuals, corporations, foundations, product and book sales, benefit and commercial performances of "The Vagina Monologues."
V-Day is a project of the Tides Foundation and is a 501(c)3 organization.
V-Day 2001 took place this year on February 10th at Madison Square Garden in New York with over 70 women sharing the stage, performing the monologues and participating in song as the "Vulva Choir." To learn more about getting involved in the V-Day organization click here or go to www.vday.org.
