V-DAY IN ACTION
COLLEGE & COMMUNITY CAMPAIGNS
The heart and soul of V-Day – its college and community activists –
ushered in V-Day’s 15th season with great enthusiasm. Through over 5,400
V-Day events in over 2,280 locations, V-Day activists in all 50 United
States, Puerto Rico and 67 countries brought The Vagina Monologues,
A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, Any One Of Us: Words
From Prison, and screenings of V-Day’s documentaries Until The Violence
Stops and What I Want My Words To Do To You into their communities.
V-Day benefits raised $2.3 million for local anti-violence groups, including
over $203,000 for V-Day’s Spotlight Campaign, which for this year
supported One Billion Rising.
This was V-Day’s most geographically diverse year to date. Some
