NYU Graduate Women present this year’s performance of The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. This award-winning play is based on V-Day Founder/playwright Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace, the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than a decade, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public and brought a deeper consciousness to the conversation around ending violence against women and girls.
Over the past 17 years, V-Day organizers have saved lives, raised consciousness, changed laws to protect women and girls, funded rape crisis centers and domestic violence shelters (oftentimes these much-needed funds kept them from closing), educated their communities, and raised over $100 million in urgently needed funds for groups doing the essential work of ending violence and serving survivors and their families. What began as one event in New York City in 1998 today includes over 5,800 V-Day events annually.
The proceeds from this year’s show will go to Her Justice, a non-profit organization that provides legal help to female victims of domestic violence in New York City. For more information about Her Justice, please visit their website at: www.herjustice.org.
