Join us on the 25th November as we take the streets to march to Reclaim the Night! 

As the kick off to our 16 days of Activism against violence against women & girls we're hosting a Reclaim the Night March. 

The March will start and end at City Hall and we will have friendly Stewards along the route to ensure your safety and point you in the right direction. 

If you have any access needs or concerns about the route, please email m.bebbington@shu.ac.uk.

Never heard of Reclaim the Night? 

The Reclaim The Night marches started in the UK on the 12th November 1977, when torchlit marches were held across England in Leeds, York, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Brighton and London. They were called by the Leeds Revolutionary Feminist Group, who were inspired by news of co-ordinated women-only ‘Take Back The Night’ marches against sexual harassment, held across towns and cities in West Germany on the 30th April 1977.

The Reclaim the Night march gives women a voice and a chance to reclaim the streets at night on a safe and empowering event.
