The Voices of Women Organizing Project (VOW) Musical Performance Presenting: "Take A Walk In My Shoes" On participating in Vagina Festival 2008: "Take A Walk In My Shoes" is a song that was written by members of the Voices of Women Organizing Project (VOW), who are survivors of domestic violence and work to improve the systems that battered women and their children turn to for safety and justice, with the assistance of Bev Grant, a Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/activist. The song relates to Vagina Festival's purpose by expressing some of the issues victims of domestic violence may have faced and turning their pain into power in order to break free from the chains of abuse. This song celebrates women and their strength in overcoming oppression and stopping the violence against women and girls. About VOW: The Voices of Women Organizing Project (VOW), a grassroots advocacy organization of survivors of domestic violence in New York City who are working to improve the many systems battered women and their children rely on for safety and justice. Since 2000, VOW members have documented system failures and developed recommendations for change, and they have educated policy makers, elected officials, the public and each other through trainings, meetings, testimony and, most recently a report about how Family Courts in New York City are endangering battered women and their children.
