Some of you may be familiar with V-Day, the global movement (founded by Vagina Monologues author Eve Ensler) to end violence against women and girls. One of their most recent campaigns, "Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource," targets sexual violence against women and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
There are several ways to get involved with this campaign, including writing to DRC President Joseph Kabila Kabange and donating to the campaign. Just in time for the holidays, though, comes another terrific way to support the women and girls of the DRC: purchasing one of these beautiful satchels, handmade by Congolese survivors of sexual assault, as a holiday gift for someone special! They're only $20 each, and proceeds from the sale of the bags helps provide economic support to Congolese sexual assault survivors.

Nice Amanda. I will get a purse for my SIL. I know I am juvenile but when I saw the man with the hat 'Vagina Warrior' I laughed out loud.
BTW, Jason dressed up as McGruff for a fundraiser for the Madison PD. Kids loved him - even more than Bucky Badger.
I bought three! One for my sis, one for my SIL, and one for me -- I'm so excited! And I TOTALLY want a "Vagina Warrior" shirt! : )
Also, I find it hard to believe that ANY character would be more beloved by kids in Madison than Bucky. Guess that tells ya how cool McGruff is!
