On the evening of 8th March 2011 the birdhousefund.org will lead a major event by staging a performance of The Vagina Monologues with a cast of real, local women at the prestigious Great Hall at Manchester Townhall. This groundbreaking show will be followed by a high profile debate on the ever present violence and exploitation of women including issues around trafficking, abuse, rape, slavery and early sexualisation of our young girls. This debate will raise the issues we face globally and will also highlight issues nearer to home in the UK and Manchester. We are inviting politicians, high profile academics and feminists to participate.
Be great if you're able to come along. Click here for tickets!
Victoria Wood sent the below message of support for the Birdhouse Fund Presents V Day:
‘Just a little message to wish everyone all the best with the Vagina Monologues (though I do hate that word " monologues") and well done to everyone who's been brave enough to take part. Please don't worry if you don't have any acting experience - I have seen the Vagina Monologues done by people with shed loads of acting experience, and believe me - they weren't that great!
Happy Hundredth Birthday to International Women's Day and my best wishes for a great show and a successful fund raiser for The Birdhouse Fund, a fantastic cause.’
Don't miss out on this fantastic show and what is bound to be a thought-provoking event! And keep an eye on this blog for guest blogs from those involved!
