About V-Day 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 Enslerís 
award winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works. In 2008, over 4000 V-
Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the 
world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.  To 
date, the V-Day movement has raised over $60 million and educated millions about the 
issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, 
media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened 
shelters, and funded over 6000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses 
in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq. V-Day was 
named one of Worth magazine's "100 Best Charities" in 2001 and Marie Claireís ìTop Ten 
Charitiesî in 2006. The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.

What is a V-Day  Campaign?
A V-Day Campaign is a catalyst for mobilizing women and men to heighten awareness about 
violence against women and girls.  By creating this global community, V-Day strives to 
empower women to find their collective voices and demand an end to the violence that 
affects one in three women in the U.S and around the world.
