V-Day Grand Forks 2012 presents a benefit reading of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and a Prayer: Writings To Stop Violence Against Women and Girls.

Join us as we raise funds and awareness to end violence against women and girls on Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17 at Studio B (7330 2nd Street) at 7:30 p.m.

A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer: Writings To Stop Violence Against Women and Girls, is a groundbreaking collection of monologues by world-renowned authors and playwrights, edited by Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues) and Mollie Doyle.

The writings are inspired, funny, angry, heartfelt, tragic and beautiful. But together, they create a true and profound portrait of how violence against women affects every one of us.

A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, And A Prayer are a call to the world to demand an end to violence against women.

V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of playwright/founder Ensler’s award-winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works.

In 2011, over 5,800 V-Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists around the world.

To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $85 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational media and public service announcement campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, re-opened shelters and funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq.

In 2001, V-Day was named one of Worth Magazine’s 100 Best Charities in 2006, one of Marie Claire Magazine’s Top-10 charities and in 2010, was named as one of the top-rated organizations on Great Nonprofits.
