7:00 p.m.

Eve Ensler, the award-winning author of The Vagina Monologues, feminist activist, and  founder and artistic director of V-Day, will be on campus to celebrate V-Day’s 10th anniversary and discuss its mission of ending violence against women and girls worldwide. To date, the V-Day movement has raised more than $50 million and educated millions of people; launched Karama, a partnership with nine Middle Eastern and North African countries; and funded more than 5,000 community-based antiviolence programs and safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt, and Iraq. The V in V-Day stands for victory, valentine, and vagina.

Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues has been translated into 45 languages and performed in over 119 countries; in 1996, it received an Obie Award for Best New Play.

Following the presentation, Ms. Ensler will sign copies of The Vagina Monologues: The 10th Anniversary Edition and her recent book Insecure at Last: A Political Memoir, both of which will be available for purchase.

Seating is limited; tickets must be purchased in advance. In-person purchases can be made beginning January 22 at The New School Box Office. For more information, email vday@newschool.edu or call 212.229.5687.
