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 and promote 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.
Take Back the Night 2016 will begin at 7:00pm in the Student Union Ballroom on April 11th.
