95% of college rapes go unreported. Over 70% of sexual assault victims know their assailant. 84% of men interviewed said that what they did was NOT rape, although their actions fit the legal definition. Approximately 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States. In 2000, 1,247 women and 440 men were killed by an intimate partner. Sexual assault and domestic viole ...nce affect everyone.

Shatter the silence. End the violence.

Here's how to help:

Take Back The Night (TBTN) is a rally to raise awareness about sexual assault/sexual violence and domestic violence. This event is open to all people, not just people who are survivors of one of these events. Men and women are welcome to participate in this rally! Our goal is 500 people, so lets make that happen! Bring a friend!

6:00- We will be meeting at Library Mall and making posters (or you can bring your own). We will be practicing our chants and going over any questions that one may have.

6:30- We will begin the march down State Street, going toward the capital

7:00- We will begin candle light vigil, at this time we will have guest speakers and also an open forum

"Women are often told to be extra careful and take precautions when going out at night. In some parts of the world, even today, women are not allowed out at night. So when women struggle for freedom, we must start at the beginning by fighting for freedom of movement, which we have not had and do not now have. We must recognize that freedom of movement is a precondition for anything else. It comes before freedom of speech in importance because without it freedom of speech cannot in fact exist."
