This year's Spotlight is "Women in Conflict Zones". This year V-Day will spotlight women who are suffering across the world due to war. War exponentially increases the crimes of violence against women and girls. In equal measure, the strength and resiliance women have had in rebuilding their communities, along with leading governments towards peaceful solutions needs to be celebrated.

For women armed conflict means escalated military, sexual, and domestic violence, lack of security as a displaced person or refugee, and vulnerability to sex traffickers and coerced prostitution- even by the peacekeepers themselves. Given the 21st century's escalation of armed conflicts, impunity for wartime sexual violence cannot be tolerated. As patterns of wartime rape and sexual violence continue today in places such as Sudan, Congo, and Iraq, it is paramount to expose and condemn these crimes through international media coverage and public outcry and efforts in our communities themselves.

V-Day first took aim at wartime sexual violence with the 2002 spotlight: Afghanistan is Everywhere, followed by the 2005 spotlight: Women of Iraq: Under Seige, and the 2006 spotlight: The Global V-Day Campaign for Justice to "Comfort Women". The 2007 spotlight will continue to ensure that wartime sexual violence remains in the media and, therefore, the public eye.
