...vagina and to help stop violence against women. The proceeds from this year’s performance benefit groups dedicated to preventing sexual assault, including the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center and Rosie’s Place, a shelter for homeless women and those fleeing abusive relationships. In addition, Ensler??s V-Day movement, which aims to end violence against women and girls, has chosen the rape and abuse of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo as its 2009 spotlight campaign. During the current conflict the use of rape as a weapon of war has become prevalent...

Walleck ’06 injected the familiar material of female suffering and pleasure with new, poignant Harvard-based stories of trans-gender youths. Produced by Rebecca L. Eshbaugh ’07, Kristen D. Lozada ’07, and Erinn M. M. Wattie ’06, the show ran from...
...vagina is furious and it needs to talk” would sit near the top. But come Feb. 14, that venerable church at Harvard Divinity School (HDS) will be filled with genitalia-related sentiments during performances of “The Vagina Monologues,” Eve Ensler??s modern classic about female sexuality. Twenty HDS students, faculty, and staff will present the play in honor of V-Day, an international movement to end violence against women. The event is co-sponsored by the Women’s Studies in Religion Program, the Office of Student Life...
