The Sylvania Women's Resource Center has produced Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues" as part of the international V-Day campaign to end violence against women for the last two years. In 2002 a cast of 29 women (students and faculty) performed to three sold-out audiences, raising $6,000 for anti-violence work. Proceeds were donated to the Middle East Women's Empowerment and Resource Center. MEWERC addresses the special needs of women and children of Middle Eastern and Central Asian descent who seek assistance with issues related to domestic violence, immigration, and cultural adjustment in Oregon and SW Washington. If you would like to be involved in our next production contact us.

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a palpable energy, a fierce catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day helps these organizations to continue and to expand their core work, while we generate broader attention for the fight to stop worldwide violence against women and girls.
