V-Day Events at TCU

V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls and raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues. 2008 marked V-Day’s 10 year anniversary. To recognize the occasion, V-Day included two additions to the original play: A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer: Writings on Violence Against Women and Girls, and the V-Day documentary Until The Violence Stops.

To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $50 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women. In an effort to end violence, the V-Day movement has crafted internationally-focused educational, media, and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 5,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq. The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.

This year's events will be happening on February 9-14. Details about V-Day at TCU are available here. No, I'm not giving extra credit for attending these events, but I do strongly encourage you to consider attending some of the very interesting events!
