V Day Lawrence University
V Day Mission Statement:
V Day is an organized response against violence towards women. |
|
V Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely. |
|
V Day is a demand: Rape, battery, incest, 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. |
Meetings are held weekly, Thursdays at 9 PM in Main Hall 104. Please join us!
