Republic of the Congo. 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. Last year, thanks
to the generous support of the Salt Lake community, Westminster College
raised nearly $12,000 benefiting the Salt Lake City Rape Recovery
Center. Concessions and a silent auction at the productions of "The
Vagina Monologues" will also benefit the Salt Lake City Rape Recovery
Center. The Clothesline Project, a visual representation of victims of
sexual and domestic violence, will also be displayed during the shows. Other events of
interest include self-defense classes (1/27 and 1/30), a clothing drive
fundraiser

| The V-Day |
|
V-Day is an organized
response against violence toward women.
V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely. V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now. V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities. V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world. V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops. V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence. V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community.
