They Are Women, Hear Them Roar

An all-star cast of 30 of Chicago’s leading women in the LBTQ community took part in a benefit performance of Eve Ensler’s hit play The Vagina Monologues March 26 at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted. An awards pre-reception honored the staff of Center on Halsted’s Anti-Violence Project, Chicago Foundation for Women, Vernita Gray of the State’s District Attorney’s Office and transgender activist Lois Bates for their work in curbing violence against women and girls. The event was part of A World of Women: A Month-Long Series of Events for Women and Their Allies. Photos by Kat Fitzgerald; see more at http://www.MysticImagesPhotography.com.
