ABOUT US
The DFW Vagina Monologues is a benefit performance for the V-Day campaign to end violence against women. In 2014, DFW Vagina Monologues was one of thousands of events around the world that channeled creative energy into making a difference as part of the V-Day Campaign. Exciting and compelling performances helped make this event a huge success with over $2,000 raised for Hope’s Door and The Turning Point of Plano.
Eve Ensler’s THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES is based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality. Eve Ensler’s Obie Award-winning masterpiece The Vagina Monologues gives voice to women’s deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who sees it will ever look at a woman’s body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again. Launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, the ONE BILLION RISING campaign began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On February 14, 2013, people across the world came together to express their outrage, strike, dance, and RISE in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women. This year's theme is REVOLUTION. #Rise4Revolution 2015 THEME: REVOLUTION
"We must create REVOLUTION. One Billion Rising Revolution is an escalation of the first two stages of our campaign – One Billion Rising and One Billion Rising for Justice. We’ve danced. We’ve demanded justice. Now we are demanding CHANGES. And only a radical shift in consciousness, and braver, bolder and more creative and determined actions can bring about CHANGE."
