THE GUIDELINES

In the “Vagina”  Eve Ensler proclaims to have found the meaning of  womanhood, and doing so In she successfully fulfils its mission to not only enlighten audience members about the vagina, but also to give the vagina itself a voice - to tell a story about its intricacies and idiosyncrasies. It tries to make old and young women to view themselves as entirely sexual creatures, encouraging them not to be shy about their physical and emotional well-being.

For this reason, The Vagina Monologues can do more harm than good for the women who take its message to heart“ To right this wrong, V-Day and HELP/Nepal are working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms – changing minds, changing laws, changing lives What we want to highlight is the necessity, for Nepalese women and men, of overcoming cultural barriers starting a frank and equal communication about physical and psychological maltreatments: since now, that problem has never been faced in a massive and systematic way, despite the efforts of many local and international organizations.

We want to act as beginners of a social happening able to blaze up a huge public discussion that can change the community’s attitude toward violence itself and women who experienced abuses. Thus, we believe that the performance of The Vagina Monologues constitutes just the first shocking step in the direction of the improvement of the whole Nepalese civil society, our real focus group.
