V to the Tenth: Thousands of Women Gather in New Orleans for 10th Anniversary of Global Movement to Combat Violence Against Women

Democracy Now! broadcasts from New Orleans, where thousands of women are gathering to celebrate the tenth anniversary of V-Day, the global movement to combat sexual violence against women and children. V-Day began a decade ago when playwright and activist Eve Ensler held the first benefit performance of her award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues. This weekend,Ensler is organizing a two-day celebration at the Superdome called "V to theTenth." Its focus is on helping the women of New Orleans and the Gulf South.

We speak with activists from New Orleans, Kenya and Iraq.
