V-DAY is a global movement to end violence against women and girls inspired by Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop worldwide violence against women, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation and sexual slavery. Each year, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. In 2005, over 2500 V-Day benefit events were presented by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls. V-Day events have been held in 76 countries to date. In eight years, the V-Day movement has raised more than $30 million for over over 5,000 grassroots groups, staged multimedia and communications campaigns, and funded safe houses in Kenya, the U.S., India, Egypt and Iraq. www.vday.org
