"It's a funny tactic to use, but it's those people who run away who we really want to reach out to," V-Day Penn Fundraising chairwoman and College senior Emma Rosen said.
"Some people have been able to get past the social stigma of the word and the movement and are able to buy a lollipop in the shape of a vagina," she said. "The more we do this, we hope the taboo will be lessened and people will realize what we're really working for."
Other Women's Week events include workshops on networking, self-defense and Henna tattoos, a panel discussion on "Facebookology" and relationships, a "Sex Toy Box Social" and a performance by Reverend Beverly Dale on "women's sexual freedom and their relationship with God," the PCUW Chair said.
The wide range of programs is a reflection of PCUW's diverse constituency, Lorberbaum said.
"It's our hope that Women's Week will bring women together and that these interactions will give them a better view of themselves in our community at large."

Aren't the lollipops shaped like vulvas, not vaginas?
