SEVEN, a riveting piece of documentary theatre, tells the stories of seven courageous women from seven different countries who made significant social justice changes toward the well-being of women, families, and children in their respective countries. It has been translated in more than twenty languages and performed in over 32 countries. It also has been performed in 22 states and counting. Conceived by Carol Mack, seven acclaimed playwrights collaborated to create the compelling tapestry of monologues from verbatim extracts and personal interviews with the seven women leaders of Vital Voices Global Partnership network. These women triumphed over huge obstacles to create major changes in human rights and, in so doing, brought about major improvements into the lives of women and girls in their home countries and around the globe.
