Estrogenius Festival, an annual celebration of female voices, is one of New York City's largest women's arts festivals.

Founded by Fiona Jones in 2000, the festival debuted with a program of 10 short plays and music. Since then, it has grown into a five-week event including short plays, solo shows, music, visual art, dance, teen performances and support for African girls' education.

Voices of Africa (VOA) is a cross-cultural collaboration with Peace Corps Niger. The performances feature stories, poems and songs created by Nigerian young women and performed by New York City actors.

All proceeds benefit the Young Girls Scholarship Program, which sends girls in Niger (ranked the poorest country in the world by the U.N.) to school. 100% of Voices of Africa proceeds will be donated to the Young Girls' Scholarship Program.
