Reclaim The Night March

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

March with Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre in Hamilton on Monday 25th November to demand an end to violence against women and girls in Lanarkshire. Enough is enough!

About Reclaim The Night March

Reclaim the Night came to the UK over 40 years ago. In 1977 women in Leeds took to the streets to protest the police requesting women to stay at home after dark in response to the murders of 13 women by Peter Sutcliffe. Placards read “No curfew on women – curfew on men”. It is hard to believe we are still marching, but we will not stop until we can walk the streets at night, without the fear of rape. Women still face widespread violence from day to day harassment in the street to sexual assault, rape and murder. And we remain in a climate where this is still normalised as acceptable 'banter', where prosecutions for assaults are decreasing, and specialist services for women are under attack. This is unacceptable and women everywhere are making a stand.

Recent events highlight the continuing need for Reclaim the Night. Violence against women and girls surged alarmingly during the COVID-19 pandemic as we went into lockdown. Globally the statistics are horrific and the UK is no exception.

On 25th November join millions across the globe who will be marking the annual United Nations Day to End Violence Against Women with demonstrations and marches.

March for your friends and family, your colleagues, your daughters, yourself – march for all of us; march for a better world, free from violence and abuse.
