From the V-Day website: V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against all women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence), girls and the Earth.
V-Day believes that when art and activism come together, they have the power to transform systems and change culture.
Founded by V (formerly Eve Ensler), activist and author of the The Vagina Monologues, V-Day has inspired women all over the world and raised collective consciousness about how violence and gender intersect.
V-Day is a movement and an example of how the power of art can be used as a liberating tool for transformational holistic education and social justice.
In 2013, V-Day, on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, celebrated One Billion Rising – the largest mass action to demand an end to violence against women in history. This is an ongoing movement.
This year, 2024, V (formerly Eve Ensler) and Gabor Maté talked to host Laura Flanders about states of the self and the state of the world:
Universal Mother Mary had this to say about One Billion Rising in the Blessing & Virtue of Hope:
From the inside out, embracing HOPE;
time for PEACE on Earth.
As Within So Without
