There is physical strength in numbers, but people often
overlook the emotional strength that comes with something
intangible, like solidarity and support. Combine all of those
things and you get Take Back The Night — a rally, march
and speak-out in support of sexual assault survivors.
“My favorite thing about putting on Take Back the Night is
how powerfully the march through the streets of Eugene
symbolizes reclaiming marginalized people’s safety on
public streets at night - and the community and solidarity
that is represented in that very act of resistance together,”
ASUO Women’s Center Director Fatima Pervaiz tells EW via
email. The 39th annual event is organized by the ASUO
Women’s Center in coalition with Sexual Assault Support
Services of Lane County (SASS) and the UO campus
community, and has continuously pulled in big crowds.
According to Pervaiz, last year’s Take Back The Night rally
had an estimated 400 people in attendance. The event
begins with a rally that takes place at the EMU amphitheater
on campus, followed by a march downtown to the Atrium
Building, at 943 Olive Street, where survivors can choose
to tell their stories during the speak-out. “The toughest part
about putting on Take Back the Night is ensuring that the
event maintain a trauma-informed, survivor-centered and
intersectional feminist lens while continuing to engage
large audiences across a spectrum of awareness on sexual
violence prevention and activism,” Pervaiz says. But, no
matter the difficulty, each year, the effort put into the event
always comes through.
Take Back The Night begins 6 pm, Thursday, April 27, at
the EMU amphitheater on the UO campus, rain or shine.
