Since it launched, thousands of V-Day events have taken place and raised “over 100 million dollars for anti-violence programs across the globe and staged events in more than 200 countries.” V-Day helped launch and supports the City of Joy in Congo – “a transformational leadership community for women survivors of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is owned and run by local Congolese—as well as One Billion Rising, the biggest annual mass action to end violence against women in history."
