Who:

Take Back the Night is free and open to the public. This powerful evening serves as a reminder that survivors of sexual violence and child abuse are not alone.

Why:

To raise awareness for the impact of sexual violence and child abuse at every stage of life. To stand in solidarity with every person impacted, whether they decide to share their story or not. To show every survivor that we see them, we hear them, and we believe them.
