In a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric surges and cultural backlash threatens hard-won rights, Filipina Women's Network (FWN) and V-Day are CALLING ON YOU to join our defiant, powerful production of V's (formerly Eve Ensler) The Vagina Monologues.
THIS IS NOT JUST A PLAY. THIS IS RESISTANCE.
Theme: "Until the Violence Stops: FWN Against Violence against Women, Girls, and Gender-Expansive People"
As regressive forces gain momentum across the United States and reverberate throughout the world, our voices become weapons of truth. The time to break silence is NOW. When women's bodies are legislated, when immigrant communities face hostility, when gender-expansive people face erasure—we must respond with uncompromising solidarity and strength.
This isn't just about performing—it's about reclaiming our narrative when the world tries to write us out of it. It's about creating a thunderous chorus of voices that cannot—WILL NOT—be silenced.
WHY JOIN THIS MOVEMENT?
Be part of an international community fighting gender-based violence
Transform personal pain into collective power
Create art that challenges oppression in all its forms
Build solidarity across borders, cultures, and identities
Show the world that our stories will not be buried or forgotten
