V-Day Osaka “Vagina Monologue”

The Vagina Monologue Japan is a bilingual performance that aims to celebrate the strength of women while raising awareness and taking action to stop violence against women and girls in our communities and worldwide. In 2018, the VM was held at Pine Brooklyn in Osaka, Japan. As one of the performers, my role was to perform an original paper entitled “Transformation of Female Idolization in Japan” in the “Not So Happy Fact” section.

The article was published in the following journal:
