PRIMAPRODUCTIONS LLC TO DONATE 10% OF ALL ZIPHER SALES BETWEEN THANKSGIVING AND NEW YEAR’S EVE 2018 TO V-DAY!

Each year between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, PrimaProductions LLC partners with a non-profit organization that advocates for individuality and dignity in women and empowers them to gain skills and confidence to lead happy and productive lives. This year – 2018, we partner with V-Day – a global activist movement to end violence against all Women and Girls*.

* Women and Girls is an inclusive term reflecting all those who were assigned and/or identify as female.

The Me Too movement has grabbed headlines in recent history, however the call for R-E-S-P-E-C-T (RIP Aretha Franklin) and the attention to anti-violence towards woman in all its forms is nothing new.

In 1994, a play called The Vagina Monologues, written by playwright and activist Eve Ensler, broke ground, offering to the world a piece of art like nothing it had seen before. Based on dozens of interviews Ensler conducted with women, the play addressed women's sexuality and the social stigma surrounding rape and abuse, creating a new conversation about and with women. The Vagina Monologues ran Off-Broadway for five years in New York and then toured the United States. After every performance, Ensler found women waiting to share their own stories of survival, leading her to see that The Vagina Monologues could be more than a moving work of art on violence; she divined that the performances could be a mechanism for moving people to act to end abuse.

On Valentine’s Day, 1998, Eve, with a group of women in New York City, established V-Day, a non-profit 501c3 corporation that distributes funds to grassroots, national and international organizations and programs that work to stop violence against women and girls. To do this, once a year, in February, Eve allows groups around the world to produce a performance of her play, as well as other works created by V-Day, and use the proceeds for local individual projects and programs that work to end violence against women and girls, often shelters and rape crisis centers. What began as one event in New York City in 1998 today includes over 5,800 V-Day events annually. Performance is just the beginning. V-Day stages large-scale benefits and produces innovative gatherings, films and campaigns to educate and change social attitudes towards violence against women.

V-Day's mission is simple. It demands that violence against women and girls must end.

ZipHer is a product used worldwide by independent women who share in the frustration of zipping up hard-to-reach back zippers. From female politicians to high school girls, from Olympic athletes to the injured or dexterously challenged, from transwomen to women in the military “Zip me up” is a universal call.

ZipHer is unique in its decorative and strong ergonomic design comprised of an elongated hook, a brass ball chain and a faux pearl handle. Elegant hardware completes the look of this made-in-the-USA dressing aid.

The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
THE ‘Z’ in ZipHer stands for Zip Her.
