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.\"
