Eve Ensler
VE ENSLER. She is the women who introduced the VDAY to the Philippines. She’s a feminist, activist, and an honoured lady that is highly concerned on women’s right. She’s an author of cult Vagina EMonologues: irreverent, passionate.
Women and men biologically are different. Ultimately, men and women are both human beings with the same fundamental biology and differences in ability that lie more on gender itself.

She opened my eyes that until now there is a great social and gender inequality. Specifically,
Congo which she highlight the abuse of women scavengers –they give their bodies in order to get food in the trash bags. That is very depressing to know especially because I am a women and being a women is not easy. We are more emotional and were keeping our image because of the social norm esp here in the Philippines.

Islam or the sex slave trade across our own borders because it involves so-called protected classes of people that receive special treatment by our public education system and our own legal system. We cannot protect women all around the world, all the time. However, we could do a much better job as private citizens and as a Nation than we do. Truly, I believe that this is a problem that will have to be solved within our own society, without pressure from the social norm and some unjust culture. And in some of the worst places for women, like Afghanistan and Congo, my concern is in

    This article spoke to me not only because I'm a woman, but because it seems that people are finally giving credit where credit is due. I feel like women deserves to be recognize more aroung the world. We do so much more than we're credited for. Throughout American history, you read about what those women did for America. Without a lot of them, we wouldn't be where we're at today. As Mr Lew mentioned. "I said we were going to listen, we really listen." I'm beyond happy that they're ready to listen to women.…

    Maria Eva Duarte De Perón, the famous actress and women’s rights activist once said, “A man of action is one who triumphs over the rest. A woman of action is one that triumphs for the rest” (evaperon.org). Eva believed that women have a right to make a difference for each other. She followed this quote herself, by helping citizens in Argentina after a great earthquake, speaking for women’s rights in front of thousands of people, and looking over many programs for eliminating many diseases in Argentina (movies.uip.de). She made a huge impact on social justice because she touched the hearts of many Argentineans by her strong actions of helping all men, women, and children.…

    After ten months of a horrible marriage, November 21, 2010 in a public parking, my so called husband was angry at me for getting into a terrible car accident. He began choking me, and put a knife to my neck, I do not remember exactly what I did but I did scream until the cops got there. I denied everything, so they let us go, and the police escorted me to my family’s house and I stayed there. As I look back at my denial, I can find similarities with the Congolese women. For example in page 164, when Lisa asks the women “how many of you have been raped?” a few hands go up then quickly retreat. These women won’t talk about sexual violence in public, I am exactly the same…

    Gender Roles

    Sometimes it is hard to understand exactly what is meant by the term "gender", and how it differs from the closely related term "sex". “Sex” refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women. While “gender” refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes a given society considers appropriate for men and women (WHO, 2011). To put it another way, “male” and “female” are sex categories and “masculine” and “feminine” are gender categories. Aspects of sex will not vary substantially between different human societies, while aspects of gender may vary greatly.…

    Raise your hand when I say a word that would make you uncomfortable too here or say on a regular basis, ready? Love. Hate. Rape. Abuse. Molestation. Homosexuality. Clitoris. Penis. Vagina. All of these words play a major role in the Vagina Monologues. Although you may think that simply the title itself may be far too vulgar for your liking, the Vagina Monologues is a celebration of female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery. In this stunning phenomenon that has swept the nation, Eve Ensler gives us real women's stories of intimacy, vulnerability, and sexual self-discovery. "You don't just hook up with Eve," Glenn Close has said, "You become part of her crusade. There's a core of us who are Eve's army." "Eve Ensler can soar to astounding heights or move us with quiet compassion," writes Time. "She may not save the world, but what other playwrights even think of trying." What started as a play has become a national phenomenon, and is now celebrated as a ‘bible’ for a new generation of women. Eve Ensler is a force of nature, a woman alive with passion and conviction. The Vagina Monologues has been performed in cities all across America and at hundreds of college campuses including Nicholls. It has inspired a dynamic grassroots movement--V-Day--to stop violence against women. Witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise, Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning masterpiece gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who reads it will ever look at a woman's body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again. Based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality, The Vagina Monologues gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears of sex. "At first women were reluctant to talk," Ensler writes in the introduction to the monologues. "They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them." "I am not sure why I was chosen," Eve Ensler writes in her introduction to The Vagina…

    Let me first state that I expect to be condemned and hung on a stake like our Lord Jesus Christ was by those he chose to save. And like him, I am fully prepared for the battering that will come with this write up. It amuses me and burdens my heart when I see educated women, so called “feminist advocates” come forward to misinform their womenfolk, display nothing but sheer confusionist and distractionary tendencies on national TV, newspapers, and recently, social media.…
