V-Day is based on three core beliefs: that art has the power to transform thinking and inspire people to act; that lasting social and cultural change is spread by ordinary people doing extraordinary things; and that local women know what their communities need and can become unstoppable leaders.

Through V-Day’s campaigns, grassroots efforts around the world focus on preventing the various forms of violence that women experience, empowering them to speak out and organize against it.

The V-Day College Campaign engages members of college and university communities around the world to present benefit productions of The Vagina Monologues, A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, Until the Violence Stops, Any One of Us, and What I Want My Words to Do to You on their campuses to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women and girls. The V-Day Community Campaign invites communities around the world to present productions of The Vagina Monologues, A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, Until the Violence Stops, Any One of Us, and What I Want My Words to Do to You to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women and girls. Each year V-Day spotlights a particular group of women who are experiencing violence with the goal of raising awareness and funds to put a worldwide media spotlight on this area and to raise funds to aide groups who are addressing it. V-Day's Vision statement for 2003, "From V-Day To V-World" asks women and men to envision a world without violence against women and girls.
