Tahoe SAFE Alliance is thrilled to once again participate in the V-Day Worldwide Campaign and offer a production of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues. The play, which hasn’t been performed in North Lake Tahoe since 2008, plays an important role in our ongoing efforts to raise awareness and money locally for the need to end violence in relationships, families and our community. We believe that The Vagina Monologues has the ability to change lives and is an important vehicle to empower and emphasize self-confidence to women and young girls in our community.
Wine and baked goods donated by participating businesses will be available for purchase on both night’s of the performance. All money raised will support programs that reduce the incidence and trauma of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee.
About V-Day
First, the V-DAY Campaign was started in 1998 as a movement with one goal: to end violence against women and girls. This is still true today!
For the last 13 years, V-Day has become a cultural phenomenon and is celebrated in thousands of venues in over 140 countries in an effort to create dialogue and shatter taboo around violence against women and girls. The Vagina Monologues has remained at the center of this organizations campaign to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations.
As an anti-violence agency, Tahoe SAFE Alliance supports the V-Day campaign. Domestic violence and sexual assault agencies like ours put on productions of The Vagina Monologues as a vehicle to raise awareness and to empower women and society at large. It provides a voice for individuals to open up about sexuality and the role it plays in women’s empowerment.
Through our benefit production of The Vagina Monologues, we are raising awareness locally for the need to end violence, as well as educating and empowering individuals. We are also supporting the V-Day Campaign and its global efforts by donating 10 percent of net profits form the performances. V-Day Org was instrumental in funding women shelters in Egypt and Iraq; sponsoring workshops for women in Afghanistan; and convened the “Confronting Violence” conference of South Asian women leaders. It’s awesome that we are supporting such noble work! Please visit and refer others to the www.vday.org web site!
