V-Day 2007: Reclaiming Peace
V-Day Vision of a World Without Violence Towards Women and Girls
Since 1998, the V-Day movement has worked to stop violence against women and girls worldwide. V-Day’s model of ‘empowerment philanthropy’ has been a catalyst for activists, college students and anti-violence organizations to transform their communities in more than 112 countries to date. Between February 1st and March 8th (International Women’s Day) 2007, over 3000 V-Day benefits will take place in over 1120 communities and on college campuses. All over the world, local activists will stage benefit productions of “The Vagina Monologues,” to raise funds and awareness for local anti-violence groups, rape crisis centers, and women’s shelters in their communities.
V-Day’s 2007 theme, "Reclaiming Peace," makes the connection between the worldwide anti-violence work of V-Day activists and a collective desire for peace and an end to armed conflicts. “We are saying that if a government supports the use of force, weapons, violence as a method of control and dominance, this models and gives license to the same kind of behavior at home,” stated V-Day Founder/Artistic Director Eve Ensler.
"The Vagina Monologues" will be performed around California, at such locations as UC Berkeley, Cal-State Fresno, University of the Pacific, Monterey Peninsula College (March 9-10th), University of San Francisco (Feb. 9th-11th), UCSF (Feb. 26th), San Jose (Feb. 22nd and 23rd), UC Santa Cruz, and many others. On February 23rd, there will be a performance at the Castro Theater.
