CAMPUS ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT
V-SPOT
The Campus Accountability Project (CAP), since
the 2009 launch, has steadily gained exposure and
reached its submissions goal of 300 schools campus
sexual assault response policies, which represents
10% of the colleges and universities in the United
States. With this cross-section we began work on
the next phase of the project, collating a report on
our findings. In January, SAFER spearheaded dataanalysis which resulted in the finished report being
released in September 2013.
For the 2012-2013 season, we re-designed the
V-Spot, V-Day’s activist website. Our goal was to
maximize usability for our organizers and to create
a codebase that would provide a more sustainable
framework for future V-Day campaigns’ work online.
We implemented a newer, more sophisticated form
of geocoding to allow activists and V-Day staff to
view and sort events and beneficiaries by geographical
location. We also created new tools to help organizers
plan, publicize, and execute their events and a
beneficiary database of all the organizations that
have collaborated with and received crucial funding
from V-Day events.
The experience was life changing. Words don’t really
describe it, but it felt amazing to be a part of; to
share the stories of The Vagina Monologues just felt
so important to the cast and crew. It was an emotional
roller coaster for us and the audience and it was
a pleasure and a privilege to share such an open
exchange between us as story tellers and the audience.
