V-Day was born in 1998 as an outgrowth of Eve Ensler's Obie-Award winning play, "The Vagina Monologues." As Eve performed the piece in small towns and large cities all around the world, she saw and heard first hand the destructive personal, social, political and economic consequences violence against women has for many nations.
Hundreds of women told her their stories of rape, incest, domestic battery and genital mutilation. It was clear that something widespread and dramatic needed to be done to stop the violence. A group of women in New York joined Eve and founded V-Day -- a catalyst, a movement, a performance.
V-Day’s mission is simple. It demands that the violence must end. It proclaims Valentine’s Day (and every day) as V-Day until the violence stops. When all women live in safety, no longer fearing violence or the threat of violence, then V-Day will be known as Victory Over Violence Day.
You can go to the Vagina Monologues website at www.vday.org for extensive information about V-Day. You can also purchase the book The Vagina Monologues from any bookstore.
This year, Eve has added A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer to V-Day. You can purchase this moving compilation at any bookstore.
