It's a SHE thing

Time: 7-9pm

Venue: ISD Auditorium, Bashundhara (29 May); Goethe Institute, Dhanmondi (30 May)

Inspired by The Vagina Monologues, comes the collection of stories from women and girls from around Dhaka. This theatrical production showcases the struggles of a woman in a Bangladeshi society - beginning from the second we wake up and put on our clothes and walk out on the streets to catcalls, jeers and shameless name-calling to the heart wrenching yet unchanging sexual abuse that goes by unpunished every single day. 

All funds raised through these performances will be directed to the grassroots organisation Himawanti - a local NGO working in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Ticket prices: Regular- Tk800, Student- Tk400 (bring valid ID to the event) @ IMDHAKA.COM or Contact: 01724 942 539
