Hers, Theirs, Ours is Tulane University's fully original production that replaced the Va**na Monologues in 2016! We hope to create conversation about what it means to experience gender-based violence as women and non-binary & gender non-conforming folks, to open up this conversation to those who have been denied access to the Va**na Monologues community on basis of gender, and to acknowledge that
all experiences of gendered oppression cannot and should not be homogenized across class, race, ability and various other identities. The Va**na Monologues community was a vital part of Tulane's community for many years and the space created a safety for many women to come together and share their experiences. However, we feel that this space was exclusive to cis women only and as a community decided it was time for a change. We do not wish to discount the validity of the original Va**na Monologues, which was empowering and revolutionary for thousands of women. Tulane is ready for a new production that speaks our truths. HTO is still a V-Day production under the name One Billion Rising, which is a campaign started by Eve Ensler in 2012 and has become the largest global movement to end gender-based violence. The name roots from the statistic that every one in three women are r***d or face gender-based violence. That is one billion women on this planet. The goal is to eradicate these acts and say f**k you to this injustice! To clarify, this space is NOT restricted to cisgendered women, but we now open it up to anyone who identifies as a woman or non-binary and gender non-conforming.
