In November 2001, TARSHI collaborated with
CREA, for the Delhi staging of
“Women Can’t Wait”, written and performed by Sarah Jones and directed by
Gloria Feliciano, at various venues in Delhi, like the Hindu College,
Lady Sri Ram College, Habitat World Auditorium and the Amphitheatre at
India Habitat Centre.
“Women Can’t Wait” is a creative work commissioned by Equality Now as
part of its international campaign against discriminatory laws against
women. Written and performed by Sarah Jones, the play presented women
from France, India, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, the United States and
Uruguay as they prepared to address governments at the United Nations
during the Special Session in June 2000.
In the play, each woman tells a personal story of living under laws that
permit abuses such as marital rape, female genital mutilation and "honour
killing". The performance brought to life the impact of discriminatory
laws on the daily lives of women and girls around the world. The play is
a powerful statement on human rights violations against women and the
need for government and international accountability.
