Take Back the Night began in 1976 as “Reclaim the Night” in Belgium, as a march to end violence against women. Now often referred to as Take Back the Night, it continues to be a march, often associated with universities or in university towns, to reclaim the night from sexual violence. It’s been held in Athens, OH since 1979. Everyone, regardless of gender, is welcomed to participate in Take Back the Night. This program has received an exemption from mandated reporting in order to allow for full-campus participation by all members of the campus community.
