Women's Resource and Action CenterItem Take Back The Night vigil (2020-10-15)(2020) University of Minnesota Duluth. Women's Resource and Action CenterThe first Take Back the Night was held in Germany in 1973 as a response to a series of assaults, rapes, and murders. Four decades later, we still continue to fight for our right to walk at night and to be free from sexual violence. Let's strive to end all forms of sexual violence, including but not limited to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual abuse, sexual assault, etc. Join WRAC in a candlelight vigil, where we hold a moment of silence for the lives lost to violence, followed by speeches from community speakers. There will be tables with community resources and advocates will be available. Due to COVID-19, we will not be marching around campus this year. But we recommend people going for a walk with friends after the vigil, and march/walk/stand against all forms of violence. PLEASE WEAR A MASK at all times during the event and maintain social distancing. This event is free and open to the public
