  TAKE BACK THE NIGHT 2010 A woman walks alone down a dark, deserted street. With every shadow she sees, and every sound she hears, her pounding heart flutters and skips a beat. She hurries her pace as she sees her destination become closer. She is almost there. She reaches the front door, goes inside, collects herself, and moves on forgetting, at least for tonight, the gripping fear that momentarily enveloped her life. This scene could have occurred anywhere last night, last year, or even 100 years ago. Historically, women faced the anxiety of walking alone at night and that is why Take Back the Night began.  Over the last 30 years in the United States, Take Back the Night has returned its focus to eliminating sexual violence in all forms, and thousands of colleges, universities, women's centers, and rape crisis centers have sponsored events all over the country.  Thirty-three years ago, women started to stand up and speak out against sexual violence under the banner of Take Back the Night. During those years, Take Back the Night became known internationally as a visible way to take a stand against sexual violence, specifically violence against women. We are women,
We are men,
together we fight to take back the night April 02, 2010 is a night of survival in the most active sense of the word.
Supporters, survivors, partner agencies and community members will gather to shatter the silence that surrounds sxual violence. Join Hodac, Inc. and the RAFB Sexual Assault Response Team for our annual march against sexual violence, Take Back the Night. You can meet in front of Hodac, Inc., on Watson Blvd. at 8pm on April 2nd. The speakout will follow and last as long as people stay. We invite you to come and join us.
