V-Day St. John’s

Address: 15A Cambridge Avenue, St. Johns, NL A1A 3N7

Mandate:

Part of the global activist movement to raise funds and awareness towards violence against all women and girls (cisgender, transgender, and gender non- conforming). Raises funds for local organizations working towards these goals through performances of Eve Ensler’s works, notably The Vagina Monologues.

Target Population:

Our organizing committee and casts are entirely made up of women from diverse backgrounds, though several of our volunteers are cis-men. All genders are encouraged to get involved.

Highlights of Programs/Services Offered:

• We produce performances of The Vagina Monologues every February with proceeds going towards the NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre, The St. John’s Women’s Centre, Planned Parenthood, and the global V-Day organization, among others, depending on need and demand.
• Opportunities to participate as performers, or volunteers.
• We try to provide a fun, understanding environment for people to tell stories, learn about performing for audiences, and a place in which respect for all is of the utmost importance.
