V-Day: Until the Violence Stops

Gala Darling — one of my all-time favorite bloggers – recently launched a “Radical Self-Love” campaign. In today’s Valentine’s Day post, she includes the following TED Talk with Eve Ensler, creator of The Vagina Monologues.

Ms. Ensler’s TED Talk is 21 minutes and 11 seconds of pure illumination. I literally wept. Watch it now.

So, what next?

{ Read more about Eve Ensler’s work on the V-Day website. }

{ Get the critical facts about violence against women. }

{ Find a V-Day event near you. }

{ Go eat some ice cream, because you are fortunate enough to live in a country that won’t flog you for doing so. }

{ Think about these words: “Stop fixing your body and start fixing the world.” }
