"TAKE
BACK THE NIGHT"
Take Back the Night is an international rally
and march that is organized in local communities with the
purpose of unifying women, men, and children in an awareness
of violence against women, children and families. The event
is a collaboration of community and campus and other interested
persons who are ready to take a stand against violence and
make the night safe for everyone.
Take Back the Night rallies and
marches began in England as a protest against the fear that
women encountered walking the streets at night. The first
Take Back the Night in the United States occurred in San Francisco
in 1978.
