Vagina Warriors

CELEBRATE VAGINA WARRIORS. LET THEM BE HONORED AND SEEN. LET THEM BE BORN.

- Eve Ensler, Founder/Artistic Director, V-Day; playwright, “The Vagina Monologues” 08/04

Being a Vagina Warrior “means developing the spiritual muscle to enter and survive the grief that violence brings and, in that dangerous space of stunned unknowing, inviting the deeper wisdom.” --Eve Ensler

Honoring and celebrating Vagina Warriors, the extraordinary women and men in your communities who have witnessed or experienced violence and responded by helping to end it, has been a V-Day tradition since 2004. We hope you will continue the tradition and this year celebrate those women's anti-violence activists who are 'Reclaiming Peace' in their lives and in their communities.

Reclaiming Peace: Honoring Vagina Warriors at Your Events
2007 Reclaiming Peace - To reflect this year's theme Reclaiming Peace, we encourage you to honor women and men who are working to end violence against women AND are leaders for peace and non-violence in your own communities. By celebrating the work of these women and men, you can help make the connection between our ongoing anti-violence work and our 2007 call for Peace.

An Emerging Paradigm, An Emerging Species
2004 Vagina Warriors: Eve Ensler wrote this essay defining vagina warriors for V-Day 2004; It served as a statement of purpose for "Celebrating Vagina Warriors".
