Take Back The Night
An International Protest Against Male Violence Against Women
3 Neighbourhoods: Burnaby, Strathcona, & Kerrisdale
1 Finale: 8:30PM Georgia and Granville
SEPTEMBER 15, 2001
*****************
TAKE BACK THE NIGHT, the international protest against male
violence against women, has been alive and well in Vancouver
since 1979. For the past 22 years, women have gathered in a
public space to insist violence against women end. We gather
on the streets as a group of women collecting our power in
numbers without male protection. We protest for our safety in
the homes and on the streets. Because violence against women
happens everywhere, Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's
Shelter is organizing Strathcona, Burnaby and Kerrisdale for smaller actions before meeting with the larger group downtown
for the finale. There will be public workshops throughout
August and september where women can talk about male
violence and shape TAKE BACK THE NIGHT.
