Take Back the Night is an annual event held each April that seeks to raise awareness about gender-based violence affecting members of our community, to promote friends and allies in the fight to end gender-based violence, and to provide support for survivor empowerment and healing.
The evening begins with a short rally/program in the Student Union Ballroom where invited speakers and performers highlight the importance of a community response to this issue. Members of VAWPP then lead a candlelight march through campus, which returns back to the Student Union and concludes with a speak out. During this speak out members of our community will have the chance to share their personal stories surrounding gender-based violence. A coffee house takes place at the conclusion of the event at the Women’s Center.
Wednesday, April 11th
7:00 - 11:00 p.m.
