Yoni is a complex word: it is used to refer to the vagina or vulva. Yet its literal meaning in Sanskrit is "sacred space" and it is a symbol for divine creative energy. Baat means talk in Hindi/Urdu. Come share this space with us and hear, see and feel the
yoni ki baat of Sisters.
Inspired by Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues, Yoni Ki Baat was originally started by South Asian Sisters, a progressive collective of South Asian women based in San Francisco area in 2003. Today, Yoni Ki Baat is performed across the United States by South Asian women telling authentic, bold, vivid, tender, powerful and poignant stories.
