End Violence Against Women Everywhere.

Why an APA Vagina Monologues?

It's more than just a show. It's about igniting change, raising the issues of Asian Pacific American women, and ending violence (of all forms) against women everywhere. 

Quick Facts:
  • Asian and Pacific Islander (API) women compose the largest segment of persons trafficked into the United States. 
    • A combined 47% of trafficked persons in the U.S. are forced into domestic servitude, agriculture labor, sweatshop factories, hotel work and servile marriages and 46% persons are forced into sex work.
  • Immigrant API women are at higher risk for domestic violence.  Compared to the general U.S. population, the domestic violence rate for a foreign-born woman married to a U.S. citizen is three times higher
     
  • APIs have the lowest utilization of certain preventive medical services and some of the highest uninsurance rates. Without job-protected paid sick days or family-supporting wages, workers forgo these services to the detriment of their long-term health and financial stability.
  • Asian women represent over 40 percent of all nail technicians nationwide. Nail products contain more than 10,000 chemicals- many of them untested by the FDA. These chemical hazards present harm to women's reproductive abilities and can have long-term malignant health effects.
