[PAR] [TLE] The Vagina Monologues [SEP] The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written by Eve Ensler which began in 1996 at the Off-Broadway Westside Theatre after a limited run at HERE Arts Center.  The play delves into consensual and nonconsensual sexual experiences, body image, genital mutilation, direct and indirect encounters with reproduction, sex work, and several other topics through the eyes of women with various ages, races, sexualities, and other differences.  Charles Isherwood of "The New York Times" called the play "probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade."  Ensler originally starred in the production which was produced by David Stone, Nina Essman, Dan Markley, The Araca Group, Willa Shalit and the West Side Theater.  When she left the play, it was recast with three celebrity monologists.  The play has been staged internationally, and a television version featuring Ensler was produced by cable TV channel HBO.  In 1998, Ensler and others, including Willa Shalit, a producer of the Westside Theatre production, launched V-Day, a global non-profit movement that has raised over US$ for groups working to end violence against women and girls anti-violence through benefits of "The Vagina Monologues". [PAR] [TLE] Yoni Ki Baat [SEP] Yoni Ki Baat, roughly translated from Hindi as "Talks of the Vagina," is a live performance of monologues by women of South Asian origin.  The project was inspired by a production of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" by the Kimaaya Theatre Company in Bangalore, India.  "Yoni Ki Baat" was conceptualized in 2003 by South Asian Sisters, a non-profit collective of South Asian women based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  At the time of its founding in 2003, the Bay Area was home to a critical mass of South Asian social justice organizations with which the South Asian Sisters collaborated.  This included Trikone, the oldest South Asian LGBTQ magazine in the world, Narika and Maitri, supporting survivors of domestic violence in the South Asian community, ASATA (The Alliance of South Asians Taking Action) and many other community groups.  The arts organization Yoni Ki Baat was co-founded by Sapna Shahani, Vandana Makker, and Maulie Dass in this climate of social justice organizing.  As of 2012, South Asian Sisters have had eight unique scripts assembled from separate calls for submissions.
