Celebrate V-Day's 10th Anniversary

Planned Parenthood is delighted to be working with V-Day and Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) Board of Advocates Member Eve Ensler to celebrate the movement’s 10th anniversary.  Founded by Ensler in 1998, V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls through art and action.

We invite you to join us at V-Day’s 10th anniversary celebration, to be held April 11–12 in New Orleans, Louisiana.   V-Day will take over the Louisiana Superdome for two days and turn it into SUPERLOVE — a place for education, activism, and healing. 

The celebration will include appearances by PPFA President Cecile Richards and activists from around the world. It will culminate on Saturday evening with V to the 10th, an event featuring Planned Parenthood supporters Jane Fonda, Julia Stiles, Rosario Dawson, and many others.*

Studies have found that women who have been abused are much more likely than other women to suffer ill health — and the effects seem to persist long after the violence has stopped.  Fortunately, V-Day has made tremendous strides in addressing relationship abuse and helping women rebuild their lives. 

A global nonprofit organization, V-Day has raised more than $50 million for local anti-violence groups with events in more than 120 countries.  V-Day generously funded a Planned Parenthood program designed to improve screening and referral services for Planned Parenthood affiliate clients experiencing intimate partner violence. 

V to the 10th is a benefit event and will raise funds for groups working to end violence against women in New Orleans, the Gulf States, and worldwide. Do not miss out on this experience!
