the vagina monologues are part of the vday organization, which was founded after eve ensler felt the repercussions of the first productions of the play in 1998.
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop worldwide violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.
our area's performances are a small yet significant portion of the enormous number of productions that take place around this time across the country and internationally.
The V-Day College Campaign invites members of college and university communities around the world to present benefit productions of "The Vagina Monologues” 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.
