Penn V-Day is one of the largest and most successful social justice movements on campus. Penn V-Day has become the catalyst for mobilizing people to heighten awareness of violence against female-identifying and non-binary people of all ages, as well as the force that empowers individuals and the public-at-large to bring that violence to an end. Each year, a diverse community of warriors help spread the message to thousands more throughout the greater Penn community.
Over the past nineteen years, Penn V-Day has raised over $300,000 for our beneficiary, Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR), the only full-service rape crisis center in Philadelphia. Through extensive panel discussions, workshops, local events, and educational marketing campaigns launched on campus and online, Penn V-Day strives to motivate Penn students, faculty and staff to find their collective voice and demand an end to the violence.
