EVE ENSLER
Eve Ensler (Playwright / Performer / Activist) is the award-winning author of The Vagina Monologues.
Her play The Vagina Monologues has been translated into over 45 languages and is running in theaters all over the world, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadway's Westside Theater and on London's West End (2002 Olivier Award nomination, Best Entertainment.) Her experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to create V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. Ms. Ensler's performance in The Vagina Monologues can be seen in the HBO original documentary of the play (2002).
V-Day Performance - First time in Nepal
December 01st, 2006 at Royal Nepal Academy
HELP/Nepal is proud to set on stage, for the first time in Nepal
and in Nepali, the worldwide known and poignant show "The Vagina
Monologues", inspired by Eve's Ensler book.
Hundreds of women told her their stories of rape, incest, domestic
battery and genital mutilation. It was clear that something
widespread and dramatic needed to be done to stop that violence.
WE DID IT!

SURVEY
Thus, V-Day was created; and, up to now, the theater-show has
been performed in over 80 countries. It has been distributing funds
to grassroots, national and international organisations and running
programs that work to stop violence against women and girls,
throughout the world, from Europe to Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Therefore, HELP/Nepal decided to take the lead in sensitising
Nepalese society on gender-related abuses and proudly joined the
main V-day goal: stopping violence against women and girls! (More
