From the V-Day website: V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against all women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence), girls and the Earth.
V-Day believes that when art and activism come together, they have the power to transform systems and change culture.
Founded by V (formerly Eve Ensler), activist and author of the The Vagina Monologues, V-Day has inspired women all over the world and raised collective consciousness about how violence and gender intersect.
V-Day is a movement and an example of how the power of art can be used as a liberating tool for transformational holistic education and social justice.
In 2013, V-Day, on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, celebrated One Billion Rising – the largest mass action to demand an end to violence against women in history. This is an ongoing movement. In the YouTube below is Eve (now V) rallying us and explaining what she started:
