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.
