Take Back the Night is a powerful, annual event dedicated to honoring the resilience and strength of survivors of sexual violence. This event creates a space for healing, solidarity, and collective action, bringing together individuals from our community to stand in support of survivors and work toward a world free from violence.
Through performances, storytelling, and spoken word, Take Back the Night offers a chance to amplify voices that have long been silenced, while fostering a space for healing and empowerment.
