In Haiti, reports of abuses against women have been continually on the rise, 
reflecting the strong correlation between political turmoil and sexual and 
gender based violence.
V-Day, founded by playwright and activist Eve Ensler, is a non-profit seeking 
to end violence against women worldwide In 2006, V-Day took place in over 1,100 
venues around the world, reaching over 600,000 audience members.  While V-Day 
has reached 20 countries—from the USA to China—it has never been performed in 
Haiti.  The Vagina Monologues will be performed in New York City on March 17th 
to benefit Dwa Fanm and in Haiti on April 3rd.
