V to the Tenth web site

The V10 site was designed to encompass every aspect of the tenth anniversary year for V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. Culminating in a large celebration in New Orleans, the site allows the visitor to experience a snapshot of what VDay has grown into.

The site includes profiles of many of the movement’s activists, including Jane Fonda and Kerry Washington, an interactive timeline of V-Day’s history, a news room, and even a ride board to go to the celebration.

The activist profiles required the integration of numerous clips into video galleries which in turn were integrated with text profiles on the various activists — this presented a daunting technical challenge with integrating video, flash, and the content management system.

In spite of its scope, the V10 web site was developed in three months with a limited budget using Drupal, an open-source content management system.

About V-Day
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.

Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. In 2006, over 2700 V-Day benefit events took place by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.
