04 min 28 sec

Add to Profile

Shown here in October 2006, Eve Ensler speaks about the success of the past year's first V-Day Festival in NYC. The city-wide, two-week long series of theater, spoken word, performance and community events was a huge success.

V-Day began 11 years ago today on February 14, 1998 with a sold out benefit performance of "The Vagina Monologues" in New York City.

Since this, V-Day has grown into even more of a global movement, with 700 campuses participating in the College Campaign and over 400 cities participating in the Worldwide Campaign, totaling over 3000 benefits in 58 countries.

I saw ensler speak a few years ago at my university and she's been my hero ever since. This is a great video! She really takes down Bush!

Ensler's thesis that the notion of security is and always has been an illusion is interesting and makes sense. The more we are obsessed with security the more restricted we are in our lives. Its all part of Bush's fear tactic. The truth is Bush is not protecting the country in any way. Past programs seen on Fora, have demonstrated how, despite the 9/11 commission recommendation implementations, the country's safety is no more secure than before. Since 9/11, we have become aware of the insecurity that we all inhabit, everytime we step on a plane, a subway, go across a bridge we think of 9/11 and its possibilities. The truth is we were never safe, other countries have dealt with terrorism for decades if not more, the phenomenon is new to us. We were always an open target we just assumed we were invincible. It is good to be aware of one's surroundings, but living in a constant state of fear and paranoia is not a healthy quality of life.
