Date: Wednesday, April 2
Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Location: UWF Commons Auditorium, Building 22

Throughout its history, Take Back the Night has inspired both women and men to confront social ills; including rape, sexual violence, domestic violence, violence against children and violence against women. The unifying theme throughout these diverse topics is the assertion that all human beings have the right to be free from violence, the right to be heard and the right to reclaim those rights if they are violated.
