‘Vagina Monologues’
AIMS TO EMPOWER
O ver 30 women from all walks of life will bare their souls onstage, lending their voices for the marginalized, abused and exploited in a benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues, a V-Day Cebu presentation.
V-Day Cebu, an event held to raise funds to support a local organization that promotes the welfare and empowerment of women and girls, presents this special performance in celebration of its 15th anniversary, making this year’s show the biggest to date. It will be held tonight, 7:30 p.m., at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
This year’s roster of Vagina Warriors—the women volunteers who will present during the show—is composed of beautiful, strong women from different fields. Some of them have been with the show since its birth 15 years ago, while some are new faces on stage, yet all of them are celebrating women’s sexuality with humor and grace.
Every year, V-Day highlights a particular women’s issue and this year, it spotlights on the violence against women in the workplace. This worldwide issue is still relevant today where women continue to fight for equal job opportunities or sexual harassment in the workplace. This issue will be a recurring theme during the show.
The Vagina Monologues is an award-winning play based on the interviews of more than 200 women all over the world by V-Day founder and playwright Eve Ensler. Part of the proceeds from V-Day 2017 will be given to Bidlisiw Foundation, a local foundation that has been the beneficiary of V-Day since 2002 that provides access, opportunities and hope for the most marginalized women and children, families and communities in Cebu.
Tickets for the show are available at YogaHub Banilad, Anthill Fabric Gallery, Isidra Comfort Cantina and all Handuraw branches.
