One in three women worldwide will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime. The members and allies of the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network perform this play to raise awareness, demand justice, and express solidarity with survivors.
The performance is a call for action and a demand for accountability and justice for survivors of gender-based violence.
"The Vagina Monologues," written by playwright and activist V (formerly Eve Ensler), broke ground in 1994, offering the world a piece of art like nothing it had seen before. Based on dozens of interviews V 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.
An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, "The Vagina Monologues" introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, the Comfort Women's call for apology, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who "liked to look at it."
