Take Back the Night
Take Back the Province! Take Back the Night is an international tradition, which cities around the world have participated in since 1973. The main focus of TBTN is to demand an end to rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, incest and sexual harassment. The highlight of Take Back the Night is the march, when women walk through the night and reclaim the streets. This year women across British Columbia will be marching to protest cuts by the Government of BC, which affecting women detrimentally, seriously increasing their risk of violence and severely restricting their ability to escape it. Cuts include wiping out women's centres, sexual assault crisis lines, legal aid for family and poverty law, as well as gutting to welfare and implementing a Crown policy to "tolerate" spousal assault.
