nooo not valentines day...too girlie...but still a campaign that is run this time of year...
"V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery." (www.vday.org)
typically V-day involves a production of The Vagina Monologues, with the purpose of raising money and awareness about issues related to violence against women. I am excited to participate this year and as february and march are coming up now, I urge you all to check out what V-day activities might be taking place around you. If none are in the works, maybe you could be the one to start something! Check out the site (above) and get involved. If you don't like how the world is, change it! 🙂
