  • How do we resist and rise? We have to believe the impossible is possible | V (Formerly Eve Ensler)

Morality, compassion, care – slashed and burned.V (formerly Eve Ensler) is a playwright and activist and the founder of V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls Continue reading...
