V-Day's Official Mission

V-Day at Westminster is only one part of a global movement to stop violence against women girls. We are part of a passionate and growing community of activists.

You can find more information about the movement at the official website: http://www.vday.org/.

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. Join us!

~Peace and Happiness~
