emma_trelles

The Center@MDC, and Miami Dade College's Center for Community Involvement and Student Life departments co-present The Vagina Monologues part of V-Day Miami Dade College 2012, under the direction of Joann Maria Yarrow, director of The Center's Teatro Prometeo.

Originally written by Eve Ensler in 1996, The Vagina Monologues is based on hundreds of interviews conducted by Ensler herself, relating to themes such as sex, rape, love, orgasms, birth and women's rights.

The presentations associated with V-Day Miami Dade College 2012 will be presented at three different campuses by MDC students, faculty and staff, with actresses performing in English, Spanish and Creole.

The proceeds from this benefit production of The Vagina Monologues will go to Victim Response, Inc. – The Lodge, reaching out to victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, here in Miami, and this year's V-Day's Spotlight Campaign for Women and Girls in Haiti.

About the V-Day 2012 Spotlight Campaign for Women and Girls in Haiti:
In 2012, V-Day's Spotlight Campaign will again focus on the Women and Girls of Haiti. The Spotlight will highlight the high levels of violence against women and girls in Haiti, and will focus on the increased rates of sexual violence since the devastating earthquake that took place in January 2010. All funds raised through the Spotlight Campaign will be used to support a revolutionary national program in Haiti lead by a coalition of women activists - including longtime V-Day activist Elvire Eugene - that is addressing sexual violence through art, advocacy, safe shelter, and legal services.

Through the 2012 V-Day Spotlight Campaign on the Women and Girls of Haiti, thousands of women and men throughout the world will be exposed to the issues facing women and girls in the devastated region. The Spotlight Campaign will raise funds to ensure lasting impact on the ground, supporting the revolutionary V-Day program which will establish three safe houses - each with an office of legal assistance for survivors of violence - in Cap Haitien, Fort Liberte, and Port de Paix respectively. In addition, the campaign will support four legal assistance offices in Port-au-Prince in the Bois de Bouquet, Delmas, Gressier, and Canape Vert areas, and will provide advocacy support for 19 community based organizations throughout the country doing anti-violence work.
