March Against Gender-Based Violence Take Back the Night 2026 Asset 10

“It is important for everyone to be safe while walking at night without feeling unsafe or threatened.”

“Gender Based Violence needs to stop. Nobody should be afraid to walk alone at any time.”

“It is important for everyone to be safe while walking at night without feeling unsafe or threatened.”

“People should be able to walk at night alone without being scared.”

“I think its important so people can understand that change is possible and not to accept the normalized harassment that people feel.”

Testimonies from past Take Back the Night participants on why it is still important today, over 50 years since the first Take Back the Night march began across the United States.

Join us on September 17 for the return of Take Back the Night, a powerful evening of community, action and celebration. This youth-led rally, march and market celebrates, supports and empowers survivors, while reclaiming our right to safety and speaking out against sexual and gender-based violence.

This year’s event will feature:

🤝 Community booths and interactive activities

All are welcome — bring your friends, your voice, and your energy.
