Vagina Monologues
February is body image awareness month and I have noticed that there are many events this month in celebration. Saturday, I went to the Vagina Monologues hosted by the MU Women’s Center and the LEAD Institute at Jessie auditorium for $5. The Vagina Monologues are part of V-Day, a global movement to stop the violence against women and produce awareness. The “V” stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
Women of Mizzou presented the monologues of other women. Some were hilarious, and some were very poignant. They all evoked conversation and discussion. They sold chocolate vaginas and birth control and proceeds benefited the Shelter, LEAD institute and the MU Stop the Violence Fund. And we have several events in Mark Twain to discuss what we’ve learned. Tonight there was a Vagina Monologue discussion with free doughnuts and coffee. Tomorrow there will be an event promoting sexual health with banana splits and condom relays. I was very glad that I could support my friends in their performances.
