In 2010, V-Day activists brought the


message of “Building the Movement,
Building the City of Joy” to their
college campuses and communities
across the globe. Through art and
activism, and with undaunted
creativity and passion, they continued
to bring the stories of women to
theaters and coffee shops, classrooms
and churches, Facebook pages and
Twitter feeds. Activities during
V-Season spilled over into a year-long
dialogue, raising ever more funds and
empowering the most critical, on the
ground work to end violence against
women and girls. All of us at V-Day
thank you for your support as we build
the movement together each day,
bringing us closer to ending violence.

Dedicated to the healing and empowerment of survivors of
gender violence, the City of Joy will provide women with
a place to heal emotionally from their trauma through therapy,
while also providing them with training in an innovative leadership
program focused on human rights, activism, economic literacy,
storytelling, dance, theater, self-defense, comprehensive sexuality
education, and ecology. It will be the creation of a new template
and vision where women turn their pain to power.

In essence, building the City of Joy means everyone working

This is the daily work of V-Day activists across our planet.

V-Day belongs to no single person or small group of

to the women of Congo. It will be theirs, restoring their sense
of agency over their lives and connecting them to the continuously

BUILDING THE CITY OF JOY

CONGO CAMPAIGN
The DRC’s current twelve-year conflict, fueled by a desire to control the Congo’s
vast resources and fed by forces linked to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has
created a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions with an estimated six million
dead. Since 1996, sexual violence against women and girls in Eastern DRC has
been used as a weapon of war to torture, humiliate, and destroy women and
girls, families and communities. As many as 500,000 women and girls alive in
the DRC today have been raped and sexually tortured.
The DRC is the worst place on the planet to be a woman or girl.
Working with the women activists, leaders, and survivors in the DRC and through
UNICEF, V-Day’s STOP RAPING OUR GREATEST RESOURCE: Power To The Women and
Girls of the Congo campaign, initiated in 2007, is raising global awareness about
the level of sexual violence in the DRC and advocating for change on local,
provincial, national, and international levels through media, high-profile events,
and targeted advocacy. The campaign is also providing necessary resources and
support for local women to rebuild and transform their lives.

2010 Spotlight Campaign Focuses on Congo for a 2nd Year!
A hallmark of V-Day’s work globally is its annual Spotlight Campaign, through which V-Day highlights a particular group of
women who are experiencing unthinkable violence. V-Day does this by channeling worldwide media attention on this area
and by raising funds for groups who are addressing the humanitarian crisis being spotlighted. In 2010, for the first time
in our history, we kept the same Spotlight Campaign for two years in a row, naming the women and girls of the DRC V-Day’s
2010 Spotlight. The Spotlight Campaign was highlighted at thousands of 2010 V-Day benefit events, garnering local media
coverage. To date, the campaign has raised over $536,244 for Women and Girls in the Congo.

Congo Teach-Ins, House Parties & Global Events


V-Day launched the 2010 season with a new Congo House Party tool kit featuring an updated V-Day Teach-In PowerPoint
presentation – created by V-Day’s in-house team – with a sharper focus on conflict minerals and their connection to sexual
violence. V-Day also provided activists with a short film, Turning Pain to Power, showcasing the work on the ground and giving
our activists and their audiences the chance to hear the stories of violence directly from the women of the DRC. Over the last
two years, over 1,300 V-Day activists have held Teach-Ins in all 50 of the United States, and 44 countries from Angola to
China, from Cuba to Korea, and from Romania to the United Arab Emirates.

In the UK, an event at Royal Albert Hall in London commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Great Congo Demonstration.
Eve joined Congolese activists, Members of Parliament, celebrities, journalists, activists, and multi-faith leaders at this com-
memorative demonstration.

Throughout February and March, staff and local supporters and activists hosted awareness raising fundraisers and events in
Atlanta, New York, Santa Fe, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. In the Congo, V-Day activists marched through the streets of
Bukavu to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The City Of Joy Gift Registry
In November 2009, V-Day launched The City of Joy Gift Registry, a new and unique opportunity for our activists to
participate in the construction of the groundbreaking City of Joy. By purchasing items such as stoves, beds, books,
shelves, and desks on the online registry, supporters around the world provided much needed supplies that will make
the City of Joy a comfortable, caring, and healthy place for women survivors of sexual violence to learn, lead, and inspire.
Throughout the 2010 season, the City of Joy Gift Registry raised over $42,000, with donations still coming in each day.

V-Wall for Congo: Your Voice, Our Victory


The V-Wall for Congo, a niche social network, launched in 2009, continued to grow this year and now includes over
3,000 members. The unique application allows activists all over the world to send messages of hope, empowerment,
change, and victory to the women of the DRC, letting them know that they are not forgotten.

New Congo Website


V-Day launched the new V-Day Congo website, which brings together V-Day resources, action steps, the V-Wall for
Congo, and campaign multimedia in one user-friendly location.

V-GIRLS: BUILDING A GLOBAL


NETWORK FOR A GIRL REVOLUTION
Eve’s newest work, I Am An Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the
World, debuted in February 2010 to great acclaim. The book is a celebration of the
authentic voice inside every girl and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere
to speak up, follow their dreams, and become the women they are meant to be.
Inspired by the book, V-Day launched V-Girls to engage young women in V-Day’s
empowerment philanthropy model, igniting their activism and reminding them of
their authentic selves, or emotional creatures, that are sometimes shut down or
shut up by society. V-Girls is the newest addition to the V-Day movement, seeking to
inspire girls to push through barriers and boundaries and to recognize the universal
struggles of girls everywhere.

V-MEN: BRINGING MEN


DEEPER INTO THE MOVEMENT
Out of 25 men participating in a V-Men workshop, only three did NOT know a
woman who had been abused or molested.

Men have always been part of the V-Day movement, supporting their college friends, wives, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers
as they performed in The Vagina Monologues. But in 2010, V-Day launched V-Men, a new program founded on the belief that
bringing the voices of men and boys into the worldwide movement will facilitate a dramatic shift in the movement to eradicate
violence on the planet.

With the aid of a V-Men presentation, developed by men, participants on college campuses and in communities hosted 125
workshops that created safe spaces for men to talk openly to one another and explore the issue of violence against women and
girls from a male perspective, addressing the root causes of the violence and the ways men can help end it.

V-Men workshops took place in Canada, England, India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Ghana, Japan, Kenya, Philippines,
Uruguay, Zambia, and the U.S.

The feedback gleaned from the workshops will lead to the development of a V-Men theatrical piece with a companion public
education campaign (PSA’s) and academic curriculum scheduled to debut in 2011.* see V-Men 2011 section

V-Men has been guided by Creative Advisor Mark Matousek, Development Advisor Michael Balaoing, and Outreach Advisor
Jimmie Briggs.

V-DAY EUROPE
Since 1999, with the first V-Day performance of The Vagina Monologues at the Old Vic Theatre in London, V-Day activists
have spread the message across Europe to Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

In 2001, activist Karin Heisecke won V-Day’s Stop Rape Contest and implemented her award-winning awareness-raising
campaign, printing information and contact details of help services for survivors, and the slogan “Vergewaltigung kommt nicht
in die Tüte (Rape: No Way!)” on bakery bags in the city of Saarbrücken, Germany. The campaign gained momentum, and
since 2001 there have been 80 bread bag campaigns involving thousands of bakeries, pastry shops, butchers, market stalls,
grocery stores, and book shops, distributing more than 11 million paper bags across Germany and beyond.

Since then, performances of The Vagina Monologues – including 2003’s


V-Days in Sarajevo, Zagreb, and Mostar, the 2005 powerful multi-lingual,
pan-European performance at the Flagey in Brussels, and the Parliamentarian-
cast production in London in 2004, as well as countless powerful V-Days,
from Reykjavik in Iceland to Montpellier in the South of France, and
from Utrecht in The Netherlands to Sofia in Bulgaria, have continued to raise
V-Day’s profile and engage many more V-Day activists across Europe.

As V-Day has gained momentum in Europe, activists from Western and


Eastern Europe have met one another at summits and workshops, including
the 2002 World Summit in Rome, the 2005 Summit and Workshop in
Brussels, and the 2009 Vagina Warrior Workshop in London, exploring the pos-
sibilities of working together to build a European network focused on
ending violence against women and girls.

To respond to our rapid growth in Europe, V-Day’s core team was expanded to include Karin Heisecke, the German activist
behind the bakery bag campaign, to coordinate V-Day’s work in Europe as our European Director. While overseeing the
benefit performances and supporting European V-Day activists in three languages, Karin has also represented V-Day at key
events and conferences. She continues to coordinate special events to raise awareness about V-Day’s spotlight issue
and advance V-Day’s work within the political arena and amongst grassroots women’s groups. With a staff member dedicated
to V-Day activities in Europe, we are aiming to increase our outreach in Europe with V-energy and spirit, and to engage ever
more people in V-Day’s model of empowerment philanthropy.

COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY


CAMPAIGNS 2010
Over the past twelve years, V-Day’s grassroots activists have proven that when offered the creative tools to end violence against
women they will eagerly embrace the opportunity. Through V-Day’s College and Community Campaigns, thousands of motivated
women and men across the globe have hosted V-Day benefit events, using The Vagina Monologues and other artistic pieces to
raise money for local organizations working to end violence against women and girls, as well as heightening awareness in their
communities about the global epidemic of gender-based violence.

Many took advantage of our five returning options. The Vagina Monologues remains V-Day’s most chosen creative vehicle to
bring the message forward, being performed thousands of times around the world each year. The anthology piece, A Memory, A
Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, which offers stories from the perspective of women and men, gained momentum, with many
directors taking advantage of the opportunity to include men in their cast. There were many benefit productions of our newest
theatrical offering, Any One of Us: Words from Prison, which reveals the connection between women in prison and the violence
that often brings them there. Most activists who took on this performance screened the complementing documentary What I Want
My Words To Do To You, a PBS film based on Eve’s writing group at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York. Many groups
screened V-Day: Until The Violence Stops, the 2002 documentary depicting the origins of the V-Day movement.

Additionally, V-Day introduced two new educational options for organizers. The V-Men workshop was introduced, and over 125
schools and communities participated, with many schools reporting that V-Men will become an ongoing part of their curriculum in
response to strong feedback from male attendees. As part of our 2010 annual Spotlight Campaign, a newly designed Congo
Teach-In was used by hundreds of activists to educate their communities about the conflict in the DRC and the toll being taken on
the bodies of women and girls. Both offerings were made available via a downloadable multimedia file enabling activists to easily
make a vibrant presentation no matter where they are.

This year, LUNA, a long time V-Day College & Community Campaign Sponsor, continued their annual support and provided 150,000
free LUNA bars to our activists for their audiences.

Growth
Since its inception in 1999, participation in V-Day’s College & Community Campaigns has continued to expand and deepen. In 2010,
over 5,400 V-Day benefit events took place in 1,400 locations, including all 50 U.S. states and 55 countries – reflecting an increase
of 200 locations from the previous year. The proceeds generated have also grown: college and community activists raise an annual
average of $4 million for local groups such as domestic violence shelters and rape crises centers.

Ten percent of each event’s proceeds are channeled to V-Day’s Spotlight Campaign. In this way, activists in every setting from
universities to private homes, coffee shops to classrooms, unite to support a common cause, raising more than $500,000 over the
last two years for V-Day’s work in the Congo.

Campus Accountability Project


This year, V-Day and SAFER launched the Campus Accountability Project – a trailblazing effort with a long-term goal of improving
and unifying College Sexual Assault Policies. Recognizing that current policies differ greatly, the Campus Accountability Project
is centered around a new College Sexual Assault Policy Database that will enable students to analyze their school’s policies and
input them into this central database. Started by Columbia University students in 2000, and inspired by V-Day on the campus,
Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) is the only organization that fights sexual violence and rape culture by empowering
student-led campaigns to reform college sexual assault policies.

Over the next three years, with V-Day’s help, SAFER will enlist college activists to research and report on the sexual assault poli-
cies at their schools, publishing a set of best practices against which schools can gauge how they measure up. Ultimately, V-Day
and SAFER will continue to support student groups as they press for change, and push to integrate the ‘College Sexual Assault
Policies Database’ into existing college ranking systems so that information about sexual assault policies is available to prospec-
tive students and their families.

Vagina Warrior Workshop


The Vagina Warrior Workshop (VWW) is an annual workshop where activists come together with Eve and V-staff for an
opportunity to ask questions and get vital in-person support for their events. During the 2010 V-Season, we brought the VWW
online for the first time. 100 activists attended in person and over 400 attended virtually from locations far and wide, including
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Italy, Kenya,
Kosovo, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Nepal, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and throughout the U.S. The virtual
audience was able to send in questions that the V-team answered live during the event. Overall, the workshop was a resounding
success, extending our reach beyond the in-person attendees, and even further as the event was archived and is available online.

V-SPOT
For the 2010 season, we redesigned the V-Spot, our online home for V-Day organizers, to better manage the increasingly
complex task of producing V-Day events. Ten years ago, being a V-Day organizer meant creating benefit performances of
The Vagina Monologues. In 2010, V-Day organizers produced up to 7 events in one year with varying requirements and levels
of participation, including documentary screenings, “teach-ins” to raise awareness about violence in the Congo, and V-Men
workshops. The new V-Spot allows organizers to register and manage multiple events with ease, offers a dynamic event checklist
to guide an event from conception to completion, and enables more connection between organizers through our “nearby events”
map. As part of the V-Spot re-design, we improved our public map of events to connect new activists and display the prolific and
influential scope of V-Day events around the world.

IMPACT
Media

In 2010, V-Day received over one billion


impressions in a wide range of outlets,
including The New York Times,
U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek,
The Times of London, Huffington Post,
The Guardian, Washington Post,
Los Angeles Times, CNN, BBC, Democracy
Now, Glamour and many more.
Social Networking
Building Our Networks Online, Building the Movement
As V-Day’s programs and communications continue to expand, our online presence is increasing, reflecting the depth of the V-Day
movement. V-Day’s 2010 online growth included an emphasis on social media. By cultivating supporters for V-Day and V-Day-
related profiles on Facebook and Twitter, and our own niche networks for V-Girls and the Congo campaign, V-Day was able to reach
millions of activists with news and action steps. This speedy and dynamic interchange with activists – many of who are new to
V-Day – generated immediate results, from greater participation in campaigns, to an increased attendance at events.

V-PEACE SCHOLARSHIPS
V-Day believes in young people. We are a movement that first came to life on college campuses and we have seen how our
support can help transform a young person’s life and their community. With them in mind, we established the V-Peace Scholarship
program, which identifies, supports, and educates young women to be leaders in their communities. The grant has only one
provision: that the recipient agrees to give back by working to stop violence against women and girls in her own community.

Scholarships, which range from $100 to $5,000, are awarded to individuals who would not otherwise have an opportunity for
education and who demonstrate a seeking spirit, a fierce and compassionate nature, and exceptional promise as leaders. Funds
are used for secondary schooling, graduate studies, special leadership training, and general expenses such as books, materials,
and transportation. V-Peace Scholarships have been given to girls throughout the world, from Kenya to Sri Lanka, providing future
leaders of the V-Day movement with a solid foundation on which to build. This program has been made possible by the generous
support of Skees Family Foundation.

When I send my support and my love to our


V-Peace students, I feel humbled to participate
in their courage. Their teachers and mentors
work tirelessly, day after day, year after year
in really tough places to open the path out of
pain for our students. And when each young
person chooses to respond with hard work
and hope, quiet miracles occur in unseen places
around the world. Suzanne Skees, Skees Family Foundation

V-DAY SAFE HOUSES


Across the globe, in some of the most underserved areas, V-Day partners with local women to transform the lives of girls
and women. V-Day Safe Houses are located around the world in Narok, Kenya; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Pine Ridge and Yankton
Sioux Reservation, South Dakota; Cairo, Egypt; Baghdad, Iraq, and Bukavu, DRC. These safe houses have been envisioned
and established as community centers where women and girls can develop their innate leadership, be safe, heal, and learn.
Despite the political and social contexts in which women live, the safe houses provide a way for women and girls to overcome
social barriers that otherwise impair their ability to be safe from violence.

Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien Following the Earthquake


The V-Day Sorority Safe House in Port-au-Prince was rendered uninhabitable in the devastating earthquake that rocked Haiti
this year. The women on the ground are currently deciding how to best use the house to serve those in need moving forward. It
is likely that the safe house will be renamed after V-Day activist Myriam Merlet – one of Haiti’s most treasured women’s rights
leaders, who was lost in the earthquake – when it re-opens its doors.

In Cap Haitien, the V-Day/AFASDA (Association Femmes Soleil d’Haiti) Safe House, run by Elvire Eugene, continues to provide
support to survivors of violence in the area. As of now, the Safe House is a rental, with Elvire hoping to purchase the property for
AFASDA in the coming year.

Kenya Site Visit to Narok and Sakutiek


In August 2009, V-Day staff and Board members visited the Narok Tasaru Ntomonok and Sakutiek safe houses in Kenya. Run
by V-Day Kenya Director Agnes Pareyio, both provide shelter, education, and alternative rite of passage ceremonies to over
100 girls fleeing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). During our time with Agnes and her staff, our team witnessed a moving
reconciliation between a rescued girl and her family, and had the opportunity to meet with local residents and stakeholders who
attested to the community-wide positive impact of the safe houses, as well as the economic incentives that many families
receive for cutting their girls. Agnes’ sensitization work with parents and village elders has helped families to see that educating
a girl will have far greater economic benefit for the family than cutting her in order to be married off for a bride price.

Pakistan Critical Services in Rawalpindi


This year, V-Day was able to increase its support of Shahnaz Bokhari’s Pakistani Women’s Association’s AASRA safe house,
a one-of-a kind facility in Rawalpindi, Pakistan that is serving a critical need for women in crisis. Because of wide community
awareness regarding PWA’s track record assisting women in need, the inflow of cases has risen, in turn increasing the staff’s
responsibilities. With much needed funding from V-Day, PWA has been able to hire more staff to manage the workload on a
broader scale, increasing the staff’s capacity to interface with police stations to get cases registered, travel to villages to collect
evidence for cases, advocate for survivors at medical centers, and follow through on the legal aspects of each case.

United States Yankton Sioux Reservation


The V-Day Safe House Transitional Housing has provided housing for women and children transitioning from the shelter to
independence. Over the past year, eight families have had a safe place to live as they change their lives rather than return to
violent environments. ‘Greening’ the housing units was a priority, with the community rallying to assist in adding solar panels to
the units, which will reduce heating costs. An organic garden was planted, and has provided the Transitional Housing residents
and their Cultural Preservation Project with fresh vegetables and an opportunity for families to cultivate the garden and build
community through the process.

Democratic Republic of Congo City of Joy Poised to Open its Doors


Construction work on the City of Joy in Bukavu is near completion! The building process has reached this point despite an
unusually heavy rainy season, along with a series of delays with the construction crew and material shortages due to the regional
conflict in Eastern Congo. Our Congo team has been moving mountains each and every day to actualize our dream, and the City
of Joy will soon be a reality! Our inaugural class of women will start and an opening ceremony will take place in Winter 2011.
See the Congo section for more information on planned programming for the City of Joy.

HAITI RESCUE FUND


Created in Response to Great Need
On January 12, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti, causing devastating destruction and flattening
Haiti’s nerve center, Port-au-Prince. The Haitian government confirmed a death toll of 230,000 people,
along with 300,000 injured and 1,000,000 homeless. Tens of thousands of children were orphaned in
the quake, leaving a generation of parentless boys and girls to be cared for amongst the chaos. Basic
amenities like medical care, food, water, and electricity are hard to come by for countless Haitians and
numerous accounts of rape were reported in tent cities.

V-Day responded to the catastrophe immediately by establishing the V-Day Haiti Rescue Fund. V-Activists
from around the world dug deep and donated funds which are now being put into action. According to
Michele Lebrun Pavana, speaking for Mrs. Marjory Michel, Minister of Feminine Condition, the earthquake
has put women at heightened risk for sexual assault, as many have been left to live in the streets with
no shelter. Rapes have been widely reported and the situation on the ground is ripe for traffickers. For
this reason, V-Day partnered with ShelterBox - an NGO which delivers large plastic containers that hold
a ten-person tent and a range of other equipment to victims of disasters - to support the efforts of the
Haitian Ministry of Feminine Condition to provide safe shelter for women and their families. We allocated
$40,000 towards ShelterBoxes for women impacted by the earthquake, providing shelter and other
essentials for 400 survivors in Haiti.

V-Day also provided AFASDA (Association Femmes Soleil d’Haiti), run by long time V-Day activist Elvire
Eugene in Cap Haitien, with a $20,000 emergency grant to help serve survivors with medicine, food, clothing,
and other essentials. AFASDA is meeting a critical need by serving displaced residents of Port-au-Prince.

V-DAY 2011
Spotlight on Haiti
V-Day’s 2011 Spotlight Campaign will be on the women and girls of Haiti, with a particular focus on the issue of sexual violence,
which is being reported at levels higher then before the January 2010 earthquake. Even prior to the quake, reports stated that one
in two Haitian women reported being raped.

Having worked in Haiti since 2003, V-Day will build on our past experience by supporting and promoting the work of women
activists on the ground as Haiti tackles rebuilding post-earthquake. All funds raised through the Spotlight will be used to support
a revolutionary national campaign in Haiti spearheaded by a coalition of women activists – led by longtime V-Day activist Elvire
Eugene – that will address sexual violence through art, advocacy, safe shelter, and legal services.

Opening Ceremony for the City of Joy


Over the summer 2010, our Congo-based team, led by Christine Schuler-Deschryver, focused on finishing construction of City of Joy,
hiring staff, finalizing the program plan, and identifying the first group of women to begin the program in fall 2010.

Our first delegation of visitors will attend an opening ceremony for the City of Joy in February 2011. The celebration will include
women on the ground – including local women’s leaders and NGOs; key stakeholders from the local, provincial, and national
government; high profile philanthropists and long-term V-Day supporters, along with members of our esteemed V-Board. Major
media outlets will be in attendance, announcing the opening of the City of Joy and the beginning of what we believe will be a
powerful movement for Congolese women, and a touch point from which they will steer Eastern Congo’s destiny towards peace.

Swimming Upstream
In 2008, Swimming Upstream, a new theatrical production, premiered at V-Day’s 10th anniversary celebration at the New Orleans
Superdome. A powerful and uplifting piece of theater, it was written by 16 New Orleans women after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
in a process facilitated by Eve Ensler and Ashé Cultural Arts Center’s Carol Bebelle. Swimming Upstream tells the raw and soulful
stories of women who lived through the hurricanes with grace, rage, humor, and great resiliency.

Having enjoyed a sold-out 2008 run in Atlanta, along with additional New Orleans performances, the show came to the historic
Apollo Theater in Harlem in September 2010. With casts featuring writers of the play, native New Orleans performers, and celebrity
guest stars, including Anna Deavere Smith, Phylicia Rashad, Shirley Knight, Jasmine Guy, LaChanze, and Kerry Washington, the
show amplified seldom-heard voices from the ground, sharing the frustration and hopes that New Orleanians felt during one of the
most tragic moments in United States history. The piece illuminates the intersectionality of the larger American experience – posing
important questions about how race, class, and gender are intertwined, and how they determine the way Americans experience
their own society.

In 2011, V-Day and Ashé Cultural Arts Center will take Swimming Upstream across the U.S. to New Orleans Diaspora cities (Baton
Rouge, Houston, Dallas, Mobile) as well as other communities where the message of the work will resonate, deepening our belief
that theater is an intangible and powerful force for social change.

PLANNING

The “V” Event, Making the Connections Between New Orleans, Haiti, and Congo
V-Day will produce a 2011 event in NYC, bringing together voices of activism, song, and poetry from New Orleans, Haiti, and
Congo to look at the connections between the regions, gather artists and experts together, and share stories and visions for
change. Our work in these three places has shown that their history of colonialism, slavery, and racism must be addressed when
exploring the issue of gender-based violence. The humiliation and degradation of these mechanisms has created a legacy of inter-
generational trauma, fueled the exploitation of the land and environment, and engendered poverty by creating barriers to economic
growth. As we continue to support activists who are formulating the innovative solutions to end gender-based violence, V-Day
will look at the shared histories, stories, and current realities of New Orleans, Haiti, and Congo. A clear lack of commitment from
the global community continues to slow work being done to end gender-based violence. V-Day knows that decision-making
power must return to the communities most impacted, so that decisions are not made FOR them, but BY them. Moving forward,
V-Day believes that women must be at the center of such processes in order to break these cycles of violence, poverty, and racism.

V-Girls
V-Day has invited Emotional Creatures of all ages to start their own V-Girls Book Clubs in their communities. Equipped with a
V-Day designed guide, V-Girl activists will be able to lead their own Book Clubs, analyze each monologue in the book, and use art
and activism to raise awareness about violence and other issues affecting women and girls in their communities. Like all V-Day’s
programs and campaigns, V-Girls is rooted in our empowerment philanthropy model, and through the V-Girls Book Clubs, aims
to engage youth in the model by encouraging them to focus on V-Day’s Safe Houses in Kenya for teen girls fleeing Female
Genital Mutilation (FGM). One of the monologues in the book, Five Cows And A Calf, tells the story of one such girl, and the
academic curriculum and book guide provide enhanced educational and discussion tools to understand the issue illuminated by
the story. Funds raised by V-Girls Book Clubs will help support girls who have left their families to escape FGM and early marriage.

V-Men
In 2011, V-Men workshops will take place on college campuses and communities worldwide. At the same time, V-Day will work
to develop a creative vehicle conceived and written by men, for men. The work aims to bring the real yet hidden stories of men
into a dialogue around ending violence against women and girls. This theatrical work will be based on the feedback, stories,
and interviews that resulted from the V-Men workshops. Once complete, it will be offered to V-Day activists as part of their college
or community campaign programming.

Along with the theatrical piece, V-Men will continue its outreach to men across race, age, class, geography, religion, orientation,
and ability, to develop an accompanying curriculum that will reflect the challenges, growth, and healing men go through in their
life as they work to end violence against women and girls. A V-Men website will begin to evolve, highlighting our existing V-Men
column and using viral tools to expand the dialogue.

Our small staff of twelve work from home offices around the world to directly engage V-Day’s network of dedicated activists (millions strong
and growing) as the movement spans across the globe. Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in the state of California, V-Day’s organizational philosophy
is low overhead with maximum results, such that we give away 86 cents of every dollar raised. Together with the funds generated by our
activist network, V-Day raises $5 million annually, which is given directly to local anti-violence work, along with $2 million for V-Day programs
and services. A V-Board and a small group of longtime volunteers provide critical assistance and their many talents to V-Day’s efforts. Eve
Ensler, V-Day’s founder and artistic director, is a volunteer and has never received payment from V-Day for her work.

V-Day values empowerment through leadership. Staff members receive ongoing opportunities to “take the lead,” managing and overseeing all
aspects of a project, event or program and liaising with the staff and outside partners.

This year, our newly formed V-Counsel provided sage leadership and support for our ongoing activities. The V-Counsel includes Chair David
Stone and members Michael Balaoing and Beth Karpfinger.
