V-Day The Church Within, Indianapolis What We Do:
Create dialogue and shatter taboos around violence against women and girls through thousands of events in over 140 countries.

An inspirational, powerful, challenging, dramatic, joyful, heart wrenching, s*xy, honest dramatic play performed by amazing women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender based violence) just for you! Who We Are:
V-Day is a global movement of grassroots activists dedicated to generating broader attention and funds to stop violence against women and gi

rls, including r**e, battery, in**st, female ge***al mutilation (FGM) and s*x slavery. Inspire and support activists who are working to create a world where women and girls are nurtured and protected, through grassroots activism, public education activities and support services for survivors. Create new opportunities and resources for women and girls. How We Do It:
Support local activists in producing benefit performances of Eve Ensler's award winning play The Va**na Monologues and other creative vehicles, the proceeds of which are invested in local anti-violence activities. Encourage V-Day performances around the world to Spotlight and raise awareness for especially egregious situations of abuse against women in order to focus global attention on places often forgotten by the mainstream media. Direct a portion of the proceeds from local V-Day performances around the world to support existing groups and create new local groups that will continue the anti-violence work for years to come. Partner with artists, companies, government foundations and other social movements to broaden the human and financial resources dedicated to ending violence against women and girls. Identify grassroots leaders in the movement to end violence against women and support them politically and financially so they may expand and deepen their leadership capacity and train others to become leaders. (Why) Attacking the Silence:
The truth is shocking. According to the United Nations, one of every three women on the planet will be physically or s*xually abused in her lifetime. Although sources of violence may seem diverse, women's responses sound tragically similar. Besides the pain and strength you will hear in their survival stories, the themes that resound across cultures and geographies are of the indifference of authorities, the familial instinct of denial, and the lack of public outrage about the violence that millions of women experience every day. V-Day was born of the belief that until these themes are addressed, these violations named and taken up by whole communities as an unacceptable desecration of human dignity, the violence will continue

As we follow the guidelines of the CDC, we will not be producing a V-Day event in 2021. Stay tuned for 2022 and beyond, as we cannot know what the future holds. In the meantime, stay safe and take good care. The world needs you!
