As part of the global effort to stop violence against women, Central European University students and faculty participated in a full production of Eve Ensler's play "The Vagina Monologues." Based on dozens of interviews conducted by the playwright, the show is built around a series of personal stories about gender, sexuality, identity, and sexual violence. CEU's performance was part of V-Day, a three month period of performances of the show worldwide that benefit various charities committed to stopping violence against women.
