SHOSHANNA RICHMAN
Actress, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES
On participating in Vagina Festival 2007:
My performance is dedicated to my 18-year old friend who is categorically
afraid of her own vagina. She is afraid to say the word- afraid to even say
"gynecologist"- she is afraid and ashamed of a part of her body. For her,
for all women who fear or just don't quite understand their anatomy, for
anyone who thinks the word is profane- I must say "vagina" as many times in
as many public places as I can muster. Thanks to Alexandra and Michelle for
this particular opportunity.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN >
At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime — with the abuser usually someone known to her. Violence against women and girls is a universal problem of epidemic proportions.
V-Day's 2007 theme Reclaiming Peace seeks to make the connection between the worldwide anti-violence work of V-Day activists with our collective desire for peace and an end to armed conflicts. "We are saying that if a government supports the use of force, weapons, violence as a method of control and dominance, this models and gives license to the same kind of behavior at home," stated V-Day Founder/Artistic Director Eve Ensler.
