V-day, a worldwide campaign to raise awareness and stop violence towards women, gives communities the guidelines to stage their own productions of "The Vagina Monologues" to help support local charities. WRC has chosen Take Back the Night and Sexual Assault Victim Services to receive the donations. This is the first year the WRC has participated in V-Day.
Eve Ensler established V-day five years ago. Her play contains sections of more than 200 interviews conducted by Ensler with women about their views and experiences on the topic. Twenty-five women from campus are scheduled to participate in the program.
