We are a team of dedicated women (and men) in the Syracuse, NY area working towards one common goal-- ending violence against women. Our V-Day Worldwide Event will be held Saturday, March 3, 2007 at the Syracuse Center for the Arts- located at 728-730 East Genesee Street. All proceeds will go to Vera House in support of their continuous work on this issue.
V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright and Founder Eve Ensler’s award-winning play The Vagina Monologues.
The V-Day Worldwide Campaign is a catalyst for mobilizing communities to heighten awareness to stop violence against women and girls. Local V-Day organizers around the world use both art and activism to shift traditional attitudes towards women and violence. Through benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues that take place between Valentine’s Day (February 14) and International Women’s Day (March 8).
A V-Day event provides a way for diverse, local women, activists and actors to collaborate and express universal ideas and emotions regarding violence against women in their own unique way, tailored to their individual experiences and their specific audiences. The proceeds from these events are donated directly to local organizations in the community that are working to stop this violence.
The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
