| It’s V-Day, a global fund-raising movement to stop violence against women and girls begun in 1998 as an outgrowth of Eve Ensler’s Obie Award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues. Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of The Monologues to raise both awareness and monies for anti-violence groups within their own communities. V-Day itself stages large-scale benefits and promotes programs, such as the Afghan Women’s Summit, the Stop Rape Contest and the Indian Country Project, to change social attitudes about violence against women.
The IU Northwest community became involved in the movement to revitalize existing anti-violence organizations with benefit performances of the play last year and raised nearly $3,500 for the Rainbow Shelter in Gary. The Women’s Studies Program is again sponsoring a production next week, at noon Thursday, Feb. 20, and at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, at the Savannah Hall Auditorium. For ticket information, call 219-980-7756.
