Knowledge is the antidote to fear. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
What are the Vagina Monologues?
If you know then you are not afraid
“It all started in 1994 when playwright and activist Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues, a collection of pieces about women’s sexuality, including their experiences with rape and abuse. The play ran for five years Off-Broadway, performing both in New York and around the United States. By 1998, Ensler and a group of women had realized that The Vagina Monologues was more than an artistic expression of the female experience, but also a beacon of hope and understanding for thousands of women.
V-Day was then turned into a nonprofit organization devoted to the eradication of violence against women, not just in the U.S., but worldwide. It is a grassroots movement for which women all over the globe have organized public performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise money for the cause. In a world where an overwhelming majority of women have faced sexual violence and gender-based discrimination, V-Day claims Valentine’s Day as its own to celebrate women, raise awareness, and end all violence.” (UMaine.edu, 2016)
