Take Back the Night
Take Back the Night
is an international event, with marches and rallies occurring around the world
since 1976. In that year, in Belgium, women attending the International Tribunal
on Crimes Against Women walked together holding candles to protest the ways in
which violence permeates the lives of women worldwide.
As part of the worldwide movement to "take back the night," women will walk
without fear through the night and reclaim the streets, which for many years
have been sources of fear and violence.
Take Back the Night is organized by an alliance of local community service agencies, universities, religious organizations, governmental entities, businesses, and private citizens.
Speakers included Aimee Janssen-Robinson from the Student Counseling Center and Yvonne Creakbaum from C.O.D.A
